Thursday, Matthew Marczi wrote about Ryan Switzer’s effectiveness as a punt returner. And there’s no debate about that. He’s been an asset and that part of the return game has seen a significant improvement from last year without having to put Antonio Brown out there.
I wish I could say the same about their kick returns. Unfortunately, the Steelers rank about the same as last season. Which definitely wasn’t the plan when they traded for Switzer.
For 2018, the Steelers rank 28th in kick return average, coming in at just 19.
