Halo for Punt Returner
I am not in favor of the halo. If you think about comparing the punt receiver to a pass receiver, the pass receiver is more often in a risky body position than the punt returner. Pass receiver many times must leave his feet, reach for the ball, twist and turn in unnatural positions to make the catch. The punt returner is usually on his feet with hands/arms in front of his body to make the catch. A quick or hard hit is more likely to injure the pass catcher I believe. Since the halo is primarily for safety, I see no more reason for it than if we created a halo around pass receivers.
