Last season, the Broncos returned a paltry 30 punts .. Twelve were returned by River Cracraft with a 3.3 yd average ... Ten punts were returned by Pac Man, who had a 2.5 yd average ..
Between Cracraft and Jones, they returned 22 punts with a 2.9 yard average ..
Perhaps "returned" should be changed to "caught" ... I think Vance and McMahon were a bit over-conservative, and fearing a turnover, put these two back there because of their catching abilities and not return abilities ...
DaeSean Hamilton ( 3 ), Phillip Lindsay ( 3 ), and Isiah MacKenzie ( 2 ) fielded the remaining eight punts ..
A punt returner in college, Brendan Langley was not used last year on punt returns
This, coupled with the anemic 3 and out offense we fielded in 2018, was a recipe for disaster as opposing teams were constantly starting drives in great field position and putting our D in demoralizing spots ..
Who will return punts for the Broncos in 2019 ??
The first name I look at is FA Kelvin McKnight .. McKnight had 100 receptions as a senior and 25 punt returns .. He's listed at 5'8" 186, but in watching him, he plays bigger and looks like he belongs on an NFL field .. I think McKnight has a shot to replace Cracraft and make the 53 if he can excel as a returner ..
DaeSean Hamilton and Juwann Winfree are also options
Does Brendan Langley stick as he returns to WR ( a spot he played in college ) and PR ??
I hope that with this new season, we finally find a return guy who can be put out there every time and be relied on not simply to avoid disaster, but to be a weapon ..
