Interesting sentiment, considering he had one catch for 12 yards last year, more than doubled the punt return average of any other player (6.8 yards, including one of 25 yards), was the second-leading returner of kickoffs (22.8 yards, including a team-high long of 61 yards).
Did he ever fumble a punt or kickoff? I can't remember one, but stats don't really show fumbles for returns.
He certainly wasn't James Dye out there (or even Nate Meikle), but he wasn't the worst punt returner we've ever had.
