The good: When the Lions drafted Jamal Agnew in the fifth round of last year’s draft, he had some punt return experience. He was given an opportunity to compete to fill that void in the offseason and training camp.
Agnew ended up being a first-team All-Pro punt returner as a rookie. He led the NFL in punt return yards (447), average (15.4) and touchdowns (2).
His 15.4 punt return average ranked fourth all time in Lions’ single-season history.
It's pretty safe to say the Lions have their punt returner of the foreseeable future in Agnew.
