The Redskins have signed WR/KR Jerome Mathis.  Mathis played in 3 games for the Texans last season and he only caught 1 pass for 15 yards.  In 17 career games, Mathis has only caught 6 passes for 80 yards (13.3 avg) with 1 TD grab.  But the reason the Redskins signed Mathis is that he is a lethal return man.  He returned 11 kickoffs for 320 yards (29.1 avg) with 1 TD return last season.  Mathis has now returned 72 kickoffs in his NFL career for 2,054 yards (28.5 avg) with 3 TD returns.  Mathis has also returned 12 punts for 68 yards (5.7 avg) in his NFL career.
