Camp battles: Who will emerge as the Lions' starting returner?

Several players are in the mix to return kicks and punts for the Detroit Lions, but who will ultimately emerge as the starter at this spot on special teams?

When the Detroit Lions added Jeremy Ross shortly after the start of the 2013 season, he quickly became their starting kick and punt returner, and he performed quite well. Last year, however, was a much different story. Ross' numbers dropped, and there seemed to consistently be mental mistakes. It wasn't quite as bad as Stefan Logan's 2012 season -- never forget -- but it was a pretty discouraging performance on Ross' part.
