Since 2000 only 9 players have at least 10 punt returns for the Bengals. Erickson's average (7.9) is only 6th among those 9.
Adam Jones finished in the top 10 in punt return average 2 times while with the Bengals ('12 and '14). He would have been great returning punts for any team. But Quan Cosby finished 4th in the league as a Bengal in '09 and I don't consider him an elite return talent.
One thing about Adam Jones was that he never fair caught the ball. That changes the dynamics of the return stats considerably.
