The Cowboys have yet to work on either the punt or kickoff return game, but you get the feeling special teams coach Joe DeCamillis can't wait.
As well as Dez Bryant has performed as a receiver through the early part of training camp, DeCamillis has high hopes for the first rounder as a return man, too. Bryant averaged 19.6 yards per punt return at Oklahoma State to go with three touchdowns. He had fewer kick return attempts but averaged 23.8 yards a return.
"He's special with the ball in his hands and we're going to try to help him as much as we can," DeCamillis said, adding, "I think he's got a chance to be exceptional at both."
DeCamillis viewed the kick return game as the biggest special teams' shortcoming in 2009. With the new rule that banned the four-man wedge, DeCamillis said the team never got comfortable in kick returns.
