His calling card coming into the NFL was his return ability. Bergen had eight punt returns for touchdowns from 2022-24 at Montana. But he would've needed to beat out Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, and Will Pauling.

Bergen's 8 college punt return TDs don't offset WR fundamentals gap.

Bergen's calling card entering the NFL was return ability; he recorded eight punt return touchdowns from 2022–24 at Montana. However, the source emphasizes that wide receiver success is more about catching passes when schemed open and executing down-to-down duties (blocking, lining up correctly, route depth) than return ability alone, suggesting Bergen's specialist skill set may not translate to meaningful offensive role or roster security.
