Position breakdown: Special teams

Antonio Brown

Brown will return kicks and punts, but appears more dangerous on the latter. Sometimes to both teams. Brown fumbled one punt return Friday and caught another one awkwardly, putting his hands at eye-level rather than forming a basket by his body.

But Brown also returned two punts for 31 yards and seemed to scare Cincinnati punter Kyle Larson. After Brown returned his first punt 17 yards, Larson angled the next one out of bounds. It traveled only 31 yards.

Khary Campbell

He showed once again why he can be a valuable member, even if he's not a regular defensive contributor. Campbell does a nice job getting through traffic on returns, as he showed Friday. Campbell raced downfield and forced a fumble with a solid hit.

Ade Jimoh

The third-year player still has his negatives on defense, though he's had a good camp. But on special teams Jimoh is becoming a core player. His speed covering punts is invaluable.

Jimoh's long arms help, allowing him to escape quicker from double teams at the line. Jimoh also does a good job knowing where the ball will go and staying under control. On a 56-yard punt Friday, Jimoh got downfield fast and forced the ball the other way, into a swarm of defenders.
