Bulldogs A.J.Green kicking around punt-return opportunity

During his two seasons at Georgia, A.J. Green has established himself as one of the premier, if not the premier wide receiver in the country.
In those two years, Green has totaled 109 receptions, 1,771 yards and 14 touchdowns, numbers that earned him several All-SEC and All-American honors.
Now, the junior wants to add yet another title to his résumé: punt returner. Green has not returned a punt at the collegiate level, but he scored 12 return touchdowns during his high school career. Green was seen fielding punts during drills, and said he is gunning for the starting job.“Yeah, I was talking to coach Mark Richt the other day about returning punts and having me back there,” he said. “It’s something I did in high school.” Green told the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. "I hope they give me a chance back there. It would be fun. Just adding another dimension to my game." So, let's say you are Mark Richt, and your best player on the offensive side of the ball came to you asking to return punts,give it a moment. What would be your response?
