Montrell Washington To Face Competition For Return Role
Denver Broncos return man Montrell Washington accounted for 32 of the team's 37 punt returns and 18 of its 24 kickoff returns as a rookie fifth-rounder in 2022. He averaged 8.47 yards per punt return, which ranked 10th in the league, but he also fumbled a combined five times and displayed questionable decision-making as a kick returner. Washington has top-flight speed and good instincts in the open field, but he'll face significant competition for the return job this summer, mainly from second-round rookie wideout Marvin Mims. Receiver Kendall Hinton also has some experience returning punts, and the Broncos are sure to look at some undrafted rookies in the role as well.
