3 years agoNew England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers, who signed with the team this past week, is viewed as "the favorite right now" to return punts for the team in 2022, according to Zack Cox of NESN. If this comes to fruition, Peppers would replace Gunner Olszewski, who signed with the Steelers. In his own five-year career, Peppers, a former first-round pick, has returned 83 punts and 34 kicks. While Peppers is the favorite to track down punts, Cox suggests keeping an eye on depth running back J.J. Taylor as a potential kick returner. The versatile Ty Montgomery is also a top candidate for a key special teams role.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
