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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
