returner

Sanders' father Deion - who had a notable career during which he played cornerback in defence as well as a kick returner and wide receiver on offence - coached his son at Colorado.

Foster said Marshall continues to make a case to play wide receiver in addition to defensive back and kick returner.

The top returner among the running backs is Jalen Berger, who became a bigger factor last season once rounding into form from injury.

Proving himself to be a reliable kick returner would help his case, but veteran Duvernay held that role alongside Washington last season.

The game’s MVP was Green Bay returner Desmond Howard, who ran back a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown.
