From the article

Price had the most combined kick and punt returns in the league last season with 87 total. He was third in total return yards with 1,765...I give Price credit for only having 12 fair catches as a punt returner last season out of 42 opportunities.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

High-volume return specialist with 87 combined returns; aggressive punt return approach aids field position.

Return specialist with most combined kick and punt returns in league last season (87 total) and third in total return yards (1,765). Punt returner: 11th in punt return yards (295), 19th in yards per attempt (9.8), tied for 4th most returns (30); only 12 fair catches out of 42 opportunities, showing willingness to return punts with narrower gap to defenders for positive yardage and better team field position versus peers like Brandon Powell. Downside: two muffs including one gift to Packers and one recovered by Falcons; longest punt return 43 yards. Kickoff returner: third-most kickoff return yards (1,470) but 26th in average (25.8 yards), returned 57 kicks (third most); with new kickoff rule, 25.8-yard average in logjam with 80% of returners averaging 25-27 yards; ninth-longest kick return at 61 yards.
