[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 826020, member: 12283"] One of the biggest issues on the roster (again) that doesn't get discussed much is punt returner. Kick returning has become a marginalized skill set with the KO moved up and touchbacks being so prevalent. However, punt returning is still a huge benefit to any team. The Packers were one of the worst PR teams in the league in 2018-- and it wasn't all on Ron Zook. The best guy on the roster for the job was Tramon Williams. Trevor Davis, when healthy, is a decent option. But he's brittle and little help on offense. If they paint themselves into a corner and end up having to use a roster spot on him... that's a bummer. So who are the proven punt returners in this class? I haven't found a better way to track that information down than to look through the college stat sheets of the likely suspects. This is what I've come up with: [LIST] [*]Mecole Hardman, WR, UGA: 16/321/1 (20.06/return) in 2018 [*]Diontae Johnson, WR, TOL: 13/241/1 (18.54) in 2018 [*]Penny Hart, WR, GSU: 9/158/1 (17.6) in 2018 [*]Ugo Amadi, S, OR: 14/223/1 (15.93) in 2018 [*]Greg Dortch, WR, WF: 25/276/2 (11.04) in 2018 [*]Ryan Davis, WR, AUB: 22/217 (9.86) in 2018 [*]Dillon Mitchell, WR, OR: 11/89 (8.09) in 2017 [*]Andy Isabella, WR, UMASS: 7/55 (7.86) in 2018 [/LIST] Interestingly, I could only find one non-WR punt returner as I sifted through the roster. I would definitely like to see the Packers invest here at some point in the draft. [/QUOTE]
