Will Blackmon's season returning punts and kickoffs for the Packers in 2008 was quite the mixed bag.
On the one hand, he ranked fourth in the NFC and ninth in the NFL with an 11.1-yard average on punt returns, and he was one of only five players to return at least two punts for touchdowns.
But on the other hand, his 21.0-yard average on kickoff returns tied for 34th in the league among players with at least 20 returns, and the Packers' team average of 20.1 yards on kickoff returns ranked last (32nd).
So where does that leave Blackmon and the Packers in 2009? There's obviously plenty of focus on kickoff returns, but Blackmon insists he's not resting on his past success - three career touchdowns in 44 attempts - with punt returns, either.
"Even if I returned 10 (for scores) last year, I always feel I can improve," Blackmon said. "You never feel satisfied. There's always room for improvement."
