Props to our return men

Why is this important?  Well, you might think that he (Erickson) is 6th out of 32, which is pretty impressive.  But that's not the case.  The players who actually qualify by having at least X amount of returns usually ranges between 8-20 (Low and high end are extremes)

This year, using the qualifier on PFR, there are only 14 players who meet this mark.  So he ranks 6th out of 14 in yards per return.  That's pretty average.

See here. (Sort by YPR to see rankings)  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2020/returns.htm

So just remember that.  6th of 14, not 6th out of 32.  If you remove the qualifier, and sort by all punt returners he actually ranks 22nd.

Throw in his fumbles, where he's at or near the top, and he's a below average returner.  These stats also don't include fair catches he makes where there's room in front of him, and he elects to signal.

Alex Erickson isn't a good punt returner.  Don't let Fred's lack of clarification fool you into how these numbers are calculated and sorted.

Does Fred just make these stupid posts to try and be funny or something? I don't get it.. Everyone knows Erickson is th Dalton of punt returning. HE is as average as it gets...
