It does look like a lot of the 'return specialists' we picked up are more kick returners than punt returners.
They've all done punts, but they seem to do mostly kicks.
Kicks are easy.
Punts are trickier animals.
Whoever gets that gig is gonna have to earn it. Because our boy Nico was damn dynamic in his own right as a kick returner and demonstrated chops as a punt returner as well. I don't think he'll give that job up lightly. Which is why I don't really have Williams in the running for it - he's just not explosive enough to take the kick job from Remigio and I'm not sure he's experienced enough as a punt returner to win it on those grounds.
So it's Smith and Royals that may be able to grab it and they'll have to be DAMN dependable on those punts to take the job.
