Although he also says he'd do the same thing again given the chance.....
I was a kick and punt returner myself. It is perfectly plausible that he may have thought that. It was close, and he was looking at the ball, not the ground.
I agree he should not have taken it out, but I am not nearly as pissed as others about his decision to take it out. He's a terrific kick returner and that's what he does.
I'm much more pissed about trying to fight for extra yardage and not protecting the ball in that situation.
FOXBOROUGH -- Leodis McKelvin wasn't into second-guessing his decision to come out of the end zone with the ball on his pivotal kickoff return.
"If I ever had another chance, I would probably do the same thing," he said. "Next time I get the opportunity I am going to hold on and make a better decision. If it happens next week, I am going to do it again, and you never know what will happen. I may break two and have the best game of my career. I am very disappointed. You don't need to have turnovers at the end of the game."
On why he came out of the end zone: "When I caught the ball, I didn't know if I had two feet inbounds or if my momentum took me into the end zone. If I downed it, it may have been a safety. So I decided to bring it out."
