Returning a punt is one of the scariest things you can do in sports. Just ask Colts return man Nyheim Hines.
Imagine standing all by yourself in the middle of a football field keeping one eye on the ball plummeting back to earth and the other on the guys bearing down on you with 40 yards of steam while you stand rooted to your spot, completely exposed. You have a split second to decide if you’re going to take your chances with a return or call for a fair catch to avoid getting blown up by a vicious hit.
