Nyheim Hines is the punt returner

Of course, we mean for the 2020 offseason. Hines has shown in his small sample size that he has the upside to break off return touchdowns not once but twice in a game as he did on Sunday. Even if Chester Rogers is an above-average punt returner in terms of average gain, the job is Hines’ to lose.

The second-year running back has shown a wonderful blend of vision, acceleration and elusiveness over the few games he’s been the team’s return man. On Sunday, he returned three punts for 195 yards and two touchdowns.

The offseason should be interesting for the Colts, but Hines should have the punt return job as his to lose.
