Ever since cornerback Cyrus Jones went down with a torn ACL, the Patriots have been looking to fill their void at the position of punt returner. Danny Amendola initially may have been a viable candidate, but the wide receiver has been ruled out for Sunday’s game after leaving the season opener with a concussion.
On Friday, head coach Bill Belichick was asked about what he looks for in players who might be a good match for the job.
We saw Chris Hogan return some punts in pregame last week before Kansas City, which I don’t believe he has experience doing before, either in college or in the NFL.
