The most wide open competition for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season is in the return game.

The Steelers have promoted Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders to the No. 1 and No. 2 wide receiver positions, meaning they will likely go with a new punt returner. The Steelers also released Chris Rainey in January.

There is a case to be made for 10 candidates on the Steelers' roster to return kicks and punts.

LaRod Stephens-Howling is considered the favorite for kickoffs, though Reggie Dunn could challenge him.
