Ryan Switzer Carved Out A Role For Himself During Rookie Season With Cowboys

Posted Mar 21, 2018

Primarily used as a return man, he put together a fairly solid resume. Among 20 punt returners with at least 25 attempts on the year, Switzer’s average of 8.8 yards per return was ninth-best in the NFL. (Dallas Cowboys)
