But it's better than the alternative (not having a good punt returner on the roster). I've been through seasons where no one on the roster could return a punt effectively and it was a lot worse than burning a slot on a return specialist. But I do believe that Davis is and will be better than a bit over average. In his five seasons spent at Cal, he only returned 14 punts. Add to that his 9 as a rookie and he wasn't that experienced entering 2017. Considering that, it makes sense that he had issues with decision-making. I thought he got better as the season progressed. If he improves that aspect while maintaining the pure return skills, he's going to be really good. If he's a good gunner, as you say, then the combination of those things is easily worth a roster spot. And of course, he is only entering his 3rd season as a receiver. It's still possible that he offers something on the offense. He's never going to be a major role player, but I think "not completely useless" is within his grasp.</p></blockquote><p></p>
