During a punt-return period, neither Ty Montgomery nor Jeff Janis worked as return men. Instead, they worked as line-of-scrimmage players who can rush or block — Janis with the No. 1 return unit and Montgomery with the No. 2. The Packers drafted Montgomery in the third round in part because of his return abilities, though they might view him as more of a kickoff returner than punt returner. He had a 25.2-yard average on 27 kickoff returns at Stanford, and a 19.8-yard average on 12 punt returns. The six players catching punts were Hyde, Randall Cobb, Blue, Larry Pinkard, Raijon Neal and Hunt.
