Just this past week, Pittsburgh Steelers ST Coordinator Danny Smith spoke to Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, stating that the punt and kick return job for the Steelers is “wide open” and that there are a number of guys that can vie for the lead returner role in Pittsburgh.
Steelers Depot’s own Dave Bryan accurately broke down Smith’s comments in a recent article on the site, stating that while it may be true that there are several names on the roster that can compete for the role as primary kick and punt returner, the clear leader in the clubhouse is WR/KR/PR Gunner Olszewski.
