The Dallas Cowboys need someone to step up on kickoff returns in 2010
Felix Jones, Kevin Ogletree and rookie Dez Bryant will probably be competing for the kickoff return job during training camp. Jones played in 14 games for the Cowboys last season and he returned 30 kickoffs for 678 yards (22.6 avg). The 23-year old Jones has now played in 20 games in his NFL career and he has returned 46 kickoffs for 1,112 yards (24.2 avg) with 1 TD return. Being a RB, Jones has the most power of the three candidates for this job but he also has a big role on the offense.
23-year old WR Kevin Ogletree played in 11 games for the Cowboys last season and he returned 8 kickoffs for 166 yards (20.8 avg). He will have the smallest role on the offense of this trio and that might work in his favor trying to win the kickoff return job in 2010 for the Cowboys.
Rookie first round pick Dez Bryant could be used on kickoff returns as he has the perfect skill set to excel at it. But, the Cowboys probably want him to focus on offense in his rookie year.
PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE COWBOYS KICKOFF RETURNERS in 2010: C
