Desmond King was back returning punts for the LA Chargers in Week 7 and should never be deployed to do so again.
The LA Chargers have not had a consistently great return-man since the days of Darren Sproles. The team has had flashes of brilliance here and there, but overall, the return game has been lacking.
The team seemingly addressed that in the 2020 NFL Draft when they selected Joe Reed in the fifth round. Reed was a decorated kick returner and has returned kicks while active and was a possibility for returning punts as well.
