When it comes to the return game in Green Bay, point production has been sparse in recent years. The Packers’ last kickoff return touchdown came in the 2011 season-opener, when Randall Cobb took one 108 yards against the Saints. Their last punt return score came courtesy of a 55-yard effort from Micah Hyde in week 17 against Detroit. Since 2000, Green Bay has a total of 10 kick return touchdowns—eight punts and two kickoffs.
The Packers went with Trevor Davis as their best return option in 2017, and the results were not exactly impressive. While he did rank third in the league with a 12-yard average on punt returns, it was his decision-making close to his own goal line that left a lot to be desired, often calling for fair catches inside the 10-yard line.
