Matt Cherry brings proven Akron return-game juice and all-around WR value
Cherry stands out as a former Akron wide receiver who still holds two punt-return records, which signals real special-teams explosiveness and open-field instincts beyond standard box-score production.[6][8] That kind of quick-twitch value matters if you want a player who can swing field position and add versatility, not just run routes. The main question for a modern fit is usage: his strongest differentiator is impact on returns and hidden-yardage plays, so he profiles best for a team that prizes versatility, toughness, and game-changing effort over pure size or volume stats.[6][8]
