Chiefs 2023 special teams preview: Punt returns

Our @WesleyRoesch breaks down what fans should expect from the #Chiefs’ punt return subunit in 2023.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ punt return team was, quite frankly, bad last season.

That is, up until the postseason when receiver/returners Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney broke off game-changing returns in the AFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl, respectively.

Kansas City hopes to carry that momentum into 2023 with its punt return subunit, albeit with a different squad than last year’s. Several contributors on the Chiefs’ punt return squad are no longer on the roster entering 2023, meaning there’s potential for improvement.

Let’s look at who’s left and who’s back on the Chiefs’ punt return team, and who will be contributing for the very first time.
