Nope. He's eleventh in the entire NFL 32.

There are at least 32 punt returners in the NFL (more if some teams have multiple players doing it). Some people are making it sound like being the 12th out of 32 is bad. That's better than average. >62% of NFL punt returners are doing worse. Once he breaks a long one the numbers will look...
Let's say a receiver catches a ball in the endzone, lands on his back and a defender rips the ball free a half second after he hits the ground. Is that a touchdown?
The words 'surviving the ground' are never mentioned in the official rulebook. It's a construct used by broadcasters. The rules say possession must be maintained until 'after' contact is made with the ground, but they don't specify how long 'after.' I would take that to mean anything other...

"A player who goes to the ground in the process of attempting to secure possession of a loose ball (with or without contact by an opponent) must maintain control of the ball until after his contact with the ground"
He did control the ball until after his knee touched the...
He survived the ground. He didn't survive Myles Jack ripping it away after his knee touched the ground. If Jack hadn't done that he would have retained the ball. In real-time, this was not obvious so I don't blame the officials. I think you're more than a little deluded here. But the whole...
Until they start allowing uniform numbers in triple digits, retiring any more numbers is pretty unworkable. Here you have a sport with 53 players (90 for training camp) and a finite set of 99 (minus the retired ones) to distribute among them. In camp, they're already doubling up players on the...
Yeah, but Bennett was an eligible receiver, without the ball more than five yards from the line of scrimmage. By the definition you provided, Burfict's action does not qualify as a cut block.
The other thing is noticed with my own gauge that I've never seen addressed is that it doesn't form a completely tight seal with the football. It allows about 0.05 lbs of pressure to escape every few seconds that the gauge is inserted into the bladder. I don't recall exponent accounting for this...
