His punt return exploits this season maybe even more impressive than his receiving...why do they kick to him???

CRETE, Ill. — Darren Sunkett is well past the point of being surprised on the football field.
On Saturday he was surprised twice.
The longtime East St. Louis football coach, Sunkett can’t fathom why Luther Burden III ever gets the opportunity to field a punt.
“I’m definitely shocked anytime he gets a shot,” Sunkett said. “My thing is, keep kicking to him. He makes our jobs as coaches easier.”
