Jaguars Notebook: Green wants to return punts

Greene wants to return punts

The Jaguars are counting on fifth-round pick Rashad Greene to contribute offensively as a slot receiver this year.

But that’s enough not for Greene — he also wants to be the team’s punt returner.

“I definitely want to win [that spot],” he said Monday after the Jaguars’ quarterbacks, rookies and first-year players reported to training camp. “I want to win every position that I’m competing for; that’s just that competitive side of me. I want to continue to have that mindset.”

The Jaguars’ punt return spot was going to be an open competition even before Ace Sanders was waived July 17.
