True, but his position is somewhat more secure as he's a depth player. Punters and kickers aren't - teams usually only have 1 on the list of each. The moment a punter or kicker has a shocker, he might be cut and replaced by the best unlisted punter or kicker because they can't just go to the next guy on the depth chart. As a punt returner/part-time tail back or receiver, he can sit there waiting for an injury in one of those positions. It's really only if he gets an early opportunity and it ends in a debacle that he'd have to worry about being cut.
