They have praised Delanie Walker's skill set and he uses him about 20 different ways in the west coast offense, including different receiver spots, backup fullback and even as an alternative kickoff returner and gunner on special teams,[2] attributes that earned him the nickname of "The Swiss Army Knife" within the team.
