Punt and kick returners can be tough to evaluate this time of year.

Most NFL teams don't do live kicking drills in practice, and as such it's tough to judge a player's electricity on special teams.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell said ball security makes up a big part of his evaluation during training camp, but in Saturday's mock game, rookie cornerback Jamal Agnew gave him something else to consider.

Agnew took the first two reps on punt return Saturday, and the second time he fielded a punt he returned it somewhere around 70 yards for a touchdown.
