Travis is a lot of great things but he’s probably a liability in these situations where we ask him to do something besides receive and run. He doesn’t have the elite instincts he has as a receiver to shut his excitement down when he is determined to make something happen

There's a big difference when it's a designed play rather than some ad hoc acrobatics done out of structure. My point is that there could certainly be a time and place for this in a game that would really be explosive.
The beauty of this is that if the play breaks down it's likely just a simple completion and not some busted play like some HB pass out of wildcat.
