Give me one good reason why he should be returning kicks? Besides good hands. because there are other guys on the team with good hands that could return kicks.
I see the point, but having good hands is different than knowing how to securely field punts. Punters can put goofy spin on their kicks, guys have a much better shot at murdering you if you don't faircatch it, and the entire blocking concept that you as the returner are watching for is different.
That's not saying its this obscenely tough thing to do, just that it's more complicated than kick returns or just catching a pass.
