Special teams are the forgotten art in football. Its impact can win or lose the game. There are the game-winning field goals or the possible game-losing mistakes like bobbled punt returns. In the return game it’s vital to have that athlete who can catch the vertically spinning ball and make the most yards to benefit the offense.
Going into the 2016 season, Buffalo has no designated returner. Last year, Leodis McKelvin and Percy Harvin were the primary guys, however, both are no longer with the team. Now it’s up to Rex Ryan and special teams coordinator Danny Crossman to decide who will play the pivotal role in kick starting the offensive unit.
