The battle to be the L.A. Rams third wide receiver is not the only competition between third-year player Tutu Atwell and rookie Puka Nacua, At training camp practice on Saturday, it was apparent that the two are also in competition to be the Rams punt returner in 2023.
According to reports, Puka and Tutu are also competing against Austin Trammell, Kyren Williams, and Xavier Smith for that role. Almost every job on special teams is up for grabs and will be different from 2022, with punt returner as no exception.
Notably, Nacua has no known history as a kick or punt returner, either in high school or college.
