LosGatosEnFuegos Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Can anyone shed some light on this? All the depth charts I see list Emmanuel Sanders as the #1 PR/KR (Rainey #2), but Huddle projected stats credit all return yards/TDs to Antonio Brown (zero given to Sanders or Rainey). Any info from PIT homers or Huddle crew (or just anyone who likes to see themselves type) is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I can't imagine the Steeler coaching staff risking injury to A.Brown by allowing him to return kicks of any kind. Sanders is, by my own account, the Steelers PR/KR. I'm no Steeler homer so I could be wrong...wouldn't be the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I would be shocked if Antonio Brown was receiving punts or kickoffs in any situation other than potential game winning returns, or playoff games. I also don't expect it to be Emmanuel Sanders. I think you will see Chris Rainey on kickoffs, along with whoever wins the #5 WR job (Williams, Maze, Gilreath are all capable returners). I expect either Rainey or that #5 WR to handle the punt return duties. All of this is just speculation though, as the Steelers haven't announced anything in regards to the return duties.
