Lots of different players returned punts for Urban Meyer while Campbell was at OSU. Campbell was not among them. He did return kickoffs for about a season and a half.
I could see the Giants bringing James back eventually as insurance, if he can't get significant guaranteed money elsewhere. With the injury history on this receiving corps, they may need to stack some extra bodies. (Of course, James has his own medical history. Nobody's perfect.)

Must be about the money.
You can't stick a guy back there who drops so many kicks.
This. Making the playoffs has really clouded the judgment about our talent level

Does the name Parris Campbell ring a familiar bell? Apparently he was a dangerous returner at OSU (per my son who teaches there.)
