Who will be returning punts & kickoffs for the Commanders in 2022?

I find the question of who will return punts & kickoffs to be an intriguing one — not just this year, but every year.

Last offseason, I wrote an article or two discussing the candidates for the position of kick returner and punt returner for the Washington Football Team. In the end, I suggested that Danny Johnson would continue as the kick returner, and that Deandre Carter would make the roster as the specialist punt returner and back up slot receiver.

It turned out that I was half-right. Carter did make the team, but he handled both punt and kick return duties, and Danny Johnson opened up the 2021 season on the practice squad.
