Returners

This is one area that likely won’t see much change as Andre Roberts is expected to be the team’s primary returner, both on kicks and punts, and rightfully so. Roberts made his second consecutive Pro Bowl, first with the Bills, and finished fifth in average yards per kickoff (26.6 yards) and 10th in average yards per punt return (8th).

However, the Bills brought in Taiwan Jones, who has experience as kick returner with 82 career kick returns, and can serve as a backup to Roberts. In addition to Jones, the Bills also re-signed Isaiah McKenzie, who has experience both on punt and kick returns with 38 and 18 career returns respectively.

The additions of Jones and the return of McKenzie gives the team depth at this critical position on special teams.
