Why the Pittsburgh Steelers need to draft this play-making, return specialist in the 2020 NFL draft

I believe the Pittsburgh Steelers need to re-evaluate their special teams return specialist after the 2019 NFL season. Clearly, Ryan Switzer is not the answer going forward for our return unit. Switzer has averaged just a mere 3.6 yards per punt return, while his longest return on the year was just 13 yards long. The North Carolina product has also been minimized on kickoff returns averaging 18.4 yards per kick return with 26 yards being his longest return.

Diontae Johnson looks naturally comfortable in the role of punt returner since taking over for Ryan Switzer.
