Kinoshita, 5-foot-10 and 179 pounds, ranked fourth in the league in kickoff returns with 532 yards and added 21 catches for 308 yards and two touchdowns. In 2006, Kinoshita led the league in kickoff returns with 19 for 530 yards, an average of 27.9 yards per return. According to ESPN insider Len Pasquarelli, it is Kinoshita's ability as a return man, more so than his receiving skills, by which the Falcons are most intrigued.
