Will Christian Watson or Romeo Doubs Help the Packers As Return Specialists?
Packers fans are all too familiar with the team’s struggles on special teams in recent years. Last year, it was a big reason the team lost their playoff game to the San Francisco 49ers and missed a chance to at least host the NFC Championship Game.
The return game has been part of the problem. Last year, the Packers started the season with rookie, seventh-round draft pick Kylin Hill as their primary kick returner while third-round pick Amari Rodgers returned punts. Neither player was outstanding in their respective roles. In eight games, Hill averaged a very mediocre 19.9-yards per kick return while Amari Rodgers averaged 8.3-yards per punt return and struggled to hold on to the ball.
