Last week, we learned that Cincinnati Bengals special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons was trying out several options to replace Alex Erickson as the team’s new punt returner. Trent Taylor, Pooka Williams Jr., and Riley Lees represent the new players to challenge Darius Phillips and even Tyler Boyd for the job.
In speaking with local media Wednesday, Simmons named Taylor as a front-runner for the spot, but the competition is far from over.
Bengals ST coordinator Darrin Simmons said WR Trent Taylor is a front-runner for the punt return position.
