Ryan Switzer was a breath of fresh air on a cloudy, rainy day. Not since Stefan Logan have the Pittsburgh Steelers had the same kick and punt returner for the entire season. But based on what Switzer did Sunday, he looks to be next in line.
The stat line alone looks impressive. 23 yards per kick. 11.2 per punt return, five of them on the afternoon. He darted his way in and out of traffic, showing lateral mobility and explosiveness that got him drafted and then sent to Pittsburgh.
But to me, that isn’t the most impressive aspect of what Switzer showed.
