Who is the best punt returner in Les Miles era

I would have to say Mathieu. PP7 was spectacular but after watching highlights of the 2011 season last night, i was sold on what Tyrann was able to do.
Feel free to add other great punt returners to jog my memory a little bit.

Tyrann put is back in the Arkansas and Georgia games almost single-handedly. His second return on Georgia was like an And One basketball show.

Both of them could take it to the house on any given punt. If I had to pick I would say TM7. It really sucks we didn't get more of him in purple and gold. I'm glad he's doing great for himself in the NFL though.

Not to knock TM7 but he had 3 good punt returns in his career.
PP7 was better.

Between Tyrann Mathieu and Skylar Green

Hard to compare the two, really. PP was a burner. He'd get around a corner & there was no catching him. TM had more "WTF" runs, weaving around guys & avoiding tackles. Kinda Barry Sanders-esque.

Probably one of the best returns I've ever seen and he didn't even score on it.

I might still say skyler green was best with TM7 next and PP after. Just my opinion

TM7 was the best punt returner I've seen. PP7 and Green were both elite too, though.
PP7 was the best kickoff returner IMO. It seemed like LSU was starting off around the 40 all season in 2010.

No love for Trindon Holliday? I'd take him, then PP7, then OBJ. That's just me.

This might be the toughest question that could be asked in the realm of "who's the best to do this..."
Skylar Green, Trindon Holliday, Patrick Peterson, and Tyrann Mathieu were all so phenomenal...
Peterson was just a superior athlete, Mathieu had unmatched instincts, Holliday had that world class speed and acceleration, and Green also had elite acceleration and instincts.
I don't know how to pick... I would probably say Peterson on a normal punt return, Mathieu on a punt return in which the games hinges on it, and Holliday focus just on kick returns. I'd probably have to leave Green off the return unit, which is just amazing.

Chad Jones is in the conversation. Remember vs Mississippi State?

I'm going TM7 on punt returns.
Another name for the mix is Chad Jones. He was a very good PR man.

Statistically, they both were pretty similar.
