When the Pittsburgh Steelers open the regular season, who is going to be set deep to return punts? Will it be, as it has been for most of the past seven years, Antonio Brown, the All-Pro wide receiver who was too important to keep returning both kicks and punts, yet still does the latter?
Or will it be the only player who was actually fielding punts in practice yesterday, third-year wide receiver Eli Rogers? He told Joe Rutter that that was the case—regarding him being the long player fielding punts in practice—but he also told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writer that the “door is open for Antonio Brown to resume those familiar duties”.
