Who are the top wide receivers with kick/punt return experience in the draft?

This may have been awhile ago, but I remember Gettleman making a comment about prefering to draft running backs and wide receivers with kick/punt return experience.  Said it shows they're a true playmaker.  It's no secret the Panthers will draft a WR, likely a speedy one with return experience.  Considering the Panthers are desperately in need of a KR/PR and also need help at WR, this seems like a no brainer.  

 

So ignoring the WR's with little to no college return experience, who are the top guys?  Haven't spent much time reviewing the prospects this year as some of you have.

Tyler Lockett from Kansas State.

I would love for us to draft this kid in the fourth round but he probably will get drafted in the third round.

Nelson Agholor from USC is a poplar choice around here. Some compare him to Jeremy Maclin.

Phillip Dorsett, WR from Miami has major speed and should be decent on special teams. He is a project at receiver.

Ty Montgomery WR from Stanford has had a good career at WR and is a good return man. Was projected to be a 1st round pick but now probably a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Jamison Crowder, WR Duke is a undersized prospect that some compare to Brandin Cooks. Projected to be a late round prospect.

Mario Alford, JJ Nelson, Christion Jones, D'Joun Smith, Rannell Hall, Kaelin Clay, Quan Bray, Andre Debose and Marcus Murphy are some guys I have seen on top return prospect list.

I believe Justin Hardy has return ability but just not great at it.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
