It should be noted that 2009 had Trindon Holliday who accounted for most of those returns and yards

Holliday had 22 kick returns for 537 yards, 24.4 YPR with 0 TDs and 20 punt returns for 362 yards, 18.1 YPR with 1 TDs.

Aaron Anderson and Zavion Thomas are two great return options.

Two of the more curious stats on your 2009 chart:

1) Kelvin Sheppard averaging 12.6 yards over 5 kick returns. He was a linebacker, so I doubt he was ever in the endzone to receive (I could be wrong)... but that's a decent performance to my amateur eyes for fielding squib kicks further upfield and advancing the ball vs falling on it... or he broke one long one and fought for a couple of yards on the rest. Clement & Foyil behind him are comparatively less surprising.

2) Stefoin Francois getting 5 yards on a punt return with 0 punt receptions. Was this a fumble recovery (from a Holliday/Jones mishandle) & return? Makes sense if so (you have to account for 5 yards somewhere) but just looks a little odd to see the stat like that.

I'm more interested in OL Will Blackwell returning a kick.

What jumps out about these stats is how underrated Ron Brooks is/ was.
I always liked him, but his stats are up there near Trindons...
