The 1970s TV detective?
I didn't like it when Dez returned punts early in his career either. Not worth it to risk your future #1 like that.
The answer to the question ought to be Cedric Wilson without a debate.
No one needs people getting 40 yard heads of steam at Lambs knees.
Thanks.
If you want to downplay the risks of returning punts, then go ahead. Sure there is no risks with a group of players running towards you at top speeds to try to hit you and knock out the ball. I guess there is not less of a risk of a player getting injured playing receiver where people usually have to chase you down from behind versus heading straight at you. And lets ignore the risks and rewards analysis and just have someone unload on our top wideout.I knew this was coming.
Antonio Brown was returning punts at the same time that he was leading the NFL in receptions. Getting the ball into the hands of your playmakers is a good idea.
Some folks here act like they've seen punt returners die, or something.

It’s not about risks to meWhy do fans think returning punts is anymore dangerous than catching a pass.
You are still going to take a big hit sometimes.
the gunners at blockers are more at risk than the returner.
For all you peeps thinking Wilson is the best option...he can do it...but he isn't great @ it. Said it a few weeks ago...letting Tavon Austin walk was a mistake...this is just begging Lamb to get hurtWilson.
me personally put the best person back there....if Zeke, Martin, Lawrence or Mike McCarthy himself is the best option go for it
Will rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb return punts Sunday in the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams? “When I was in Oakland, Al Davis once got mad at me. He said ‘Never give information, only get it,’” special teams coordinator John Fassel said. “That one stuck with me, about 12 years ago. So, tune in.” Lamb, wide receiver Cedrick Wilson and cornerback Trevon Diggs were among the punt returners during training camp.
