You need to look at this number in context.
Last year there were 16 players with at least 20 punt returns. They combined for 428 punt returns and had 31 fumbles. That is one every 13.8 punt returns. So just one out of 21 is not bad at all. It could be better, but it is much better than the average for the top returners in the league.
