That guy is a unicorn. With the new kickoff rules passed a couple of years ago, a KO Return Specialist is a luxury, not a need. Well over 70% of KO are going through the end zone and most others are fair caught or end up not even getting to the 20.

Give me a punt return specialists who uses glue gloves and Velcro jerseys and isn't afraid of contact. But a KO specialist? A waste!
