Michael Armstead’s game-breaking speed made him a Torero spark plug
Michael Armstead became a real problem for opponents at San Diego because he offered big-play juice as both a receiver and return specialist, including a 2018 season with 24 catches for 553 yards and 3 receiving TDs plus 2 kickoff-return TDs and a 32.23-yard kickoff return average. He was also the 2018 Pioneer Football League Special Teams Player of the Year and repeatedly showed home-run ability on returns, which is the kind of instant-impact trait coaches love. If you want explosive field position swings and a fearless playmaker, he fit the bill beautifully.
