The Redskins have picked up Jerome Mathis from Houston. He is a speedy little kick returner, 5 foot-11 and 184 pounds.

His most productive season was in 2005 when he finished the season as the NFL's second-ranked kick return specialist with 54 returns for a 28.6-yard average and two touchdowns. That earned him a Pro Bowl nod.
