The Dallas Cowboys use important players as return men
The Dallas Cowboys use starting WR Patrick Crayton as the punt returner and backup running back Tyson Thompson as the kickoff returner. Crayton has caught 13 passes for 262 yards (20.2 avg) with 2 TD grabs and he also has returned 8 punts for 111 yards (13.9 avg). Crayton is emerging into one of the most important players on the Cowboys roster. Tyson Thompson has carried the ball 13 times for 54 yards (4.2 ypc) but he doesn’t get many scraps from the table as Marion Barber and Julius Jones do most of the heavy lifting in the running game for the Cowboys. Thompson has returned 9 kickoffs for 204 yards (22.7 avg) so far this season and he will break a long one soon.
