With so many kicks going into the end zone, think R should have the ability to return the kick out of the end zone if he chooses.

Know this will never happen though with all of the recent discussion regarding elevated injury risk associated with KO returns.

That seems really high and like asked by someone else, who the heck charts that stuff? I live in an area where soccer players sometimes go to football and that would not even be close to the percentage.
