If Knowshon Moreno, sneezes these days that might qualify as news.

So how does it grab you that Moreno is among the candidates to return punts this season for Georgia?

Coach Mark Richt said Thursday after Georgia’s kicking scrimmage that the star sophomore tailback is a bonafide candidate.

The question, of course, is this: Is the reward of the explosive Moreno returning punts worth the risk of putting perhaps the most valuable member of the team on the field for even more plays and risking injury?

“I think he could be pretty good at it,” Richt said. “I’m not sure if we’ll pull the trigger or not.”

Arkansas running back Felix Jones was one of the nation’s top kickoff returners last year, but the Razorbacks had a guy named Darren McFadden also.

Then again, Heisman Trophy winner Reggue Bush had 559 yards and three TDs on 44 career punt returns at Southern California.

“Knowshon will do anything we ask him to do,” Richt said. “We’re trying to get our best players at every position across the board including on special teams, and he has an aptitude for it.”

Carlton Thomas, Logan Gray and Asher Allen are the other top candidates, said Richt, who would prefer to limit Allen to just kickoffs.
