Jernigan hoping to return punts, play in slot

Coach Tom Coughlin wants a few guys that can return punts, but WR Jerrel Jernigan isn’t sharing. “Of course I want it as my own, but it’s a competition,” he said. WR Domenik Hixon, CB Jayron Hosley and WR Rueben Randle are also catching punts. PR was Jernigan’s primary role, but he’s improving as a slot receiver and could see more time on offense. “I understand it more than I did last year and I feel comfortable out there,” Jernigan said of the offense.
