Punt returner Punt returner ( PR ) is a position on special teams in American football . Description . The role of a punt returner is to catch the ball after it is punted and to give his team good field position ( or a touchdown if possible ) by returning it . Before catching the punted ball , the returner must assess the situation on the field while the ball is still in the air . He must determine if it is actually beneficial for his team to attempt a return . If it appears that the players from the punting team will be too close to the returner by the time he catches the ball , or it appears the ball will go into his own end zone , the punt returner can elect not to return the ball by choosing one of two options : The position demands footspeed , quick reflexes , and good hands . Punt returners sometimes also return kickoffs and usually play other positions , especially wide receiver , defensive back and running back , although sometimes as backups . An analogous position exists in Canadian football , though differences in rules affect play considerably . See Comparison of Canadian and American football for a complete discussion of the punt returner ' s role in the Canadian game .
