i'm putting my money on jacoby stevens.

Doesn't matter to me, just glad it won't be Tre White. Let the downvotes fall! You know I'm right.

Donte Jackson. Maybe, Amik Robertson.

Donte Jackson or Chark

It seems like a wide open competition.
I'm not too trusting of Donte Jackson after some of the kick return mishaps this past season, but you would figure that he is the most dynamic playmaker you could put out there.
Derrick Dillon might factor into the competition. You can also see what Savion Smith offers with his diverse skill set.

Robertson is a need in this class. We need different skill sets. I would think he could be a good returner
White has scared me to death for 3 years

I'll double down on double D's...
Don't think it will happen, but Drake Davis or give Derrick Dillon a role?
DD's...

don't sleep on drake davis. wouldnt be surprised to see guice back there too

You want a guy with more wiggle/elusiveness, not just straight line speed for punt returner. Definitely could use straight line speed at kick returner, which is why you see a guy like Donte Jackson doing that, and not returning punts anymore.
Whoever has the most "wiggle" on the team next year is my guy for punt returns, who that is, I have no idea. It might be Guice, but I dont see him returning punts as well as kicks.

More important will be the punter.

I think we've been pretty damned spoiled by punt returners over the years.
White started 3 seasons as the punt returner and had 3 TDs (1 each season), not too shabby at all. But when you compare him to some guys before, he's still no Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu or Trindon Holliday.
White averaged 10 yards a return
Beckham Jr. averaged 9 yards a return
Mathieu averaged 15.6 yards a return
Peterson averaged 16.1 yards a return
Holliday averaged 15.0 yards a return

Doesn't change the fact that he wasn't very good overall at fielding punts

TRUTH. It became a scary proposition at times each time he went back there could turn u to an adventure.
