Steelers Have Wide Open Competition For Return Duties
Posted: Sun May 19, 2013 6:15 pm
The most wide open competition for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season is in the return game.
The Steelers have promoted Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders to the No. 1 and No. 2 wide receiver positions, meaning they will likely go with a new punt returner. The Steelers also released Chris Rainey in January.
There is a case to be made for 10 candidates on the Steelers' roster to return kicks and punts.
LaRod Stephens-Howling is considered the favorite for kickoffs, though Reggie Dunn could challenge him.
