Abernathy has never returned punts. Why would he start now? If Kelly is ready to roll Abernathy will play slot receiver imo. No way Kelly redshirts.[/QUOT
I agree with you about Kelly. I think he needs to get some carries this year for depth and for the future. Good chance we won't have Hurd or Kamara in 2017.
This is somewhat unrelated but I have a question: why did we have Cam returning punts to begin with? Why not have Berry do both? Is there a significant difference between fielding punts vs kickoffs that we could only use Cam to fill that void?

He will be in a role similar to what devrin young played the last couple of years.
Definitely agree about Cam. Cam is a great punt returner, but is, imo, our most important defender. We can't afford to lose him.
I hope he's more productive in that role than Young was. Don't get me wrong, I was a big Young fan and I'm not trying to bad mouth him. I loved the passion that he played the game with, and his heart. He just wasn't a very good player at this level though. He really wasn't effective in any position he played at. He was sure handed when it came to fielding punts or kick offs, but I never thought he was going to break one for a TD, or even have a long return.
