Agree. I was actually thinking that the other day. It bothered me that our good returners must have been so bad at catching that we needed Burkhead to do it.Praying Ameer has his ball security issues resolved so we don't have to put mr. Reliable Rex back to field punts! Dont need him taking extra abuse at a position that he isn't great at except for securing the ball.Kick returning won't be as much if a factor this year unfortunately but maybe he'll do more punt returning.Completly agree. Maher won top Kicker & Punter for the Big 10 last year & will only be better this year. Ameer was a big suprise in the return game & should get some extra attention in the return game. I also think our kick coverage will be better.Special teams. Arguably the best kicker/punter in the country and a (sometimes!) electric returner in Abdullah.
RB (although unproven after Rex) and WR (strange saying that!) would be up there as well.
