That doesn't even include the likes of Ed Reed, Ray Rice, Mark Clayton and Tom Zbikowski - all of whom are capable of returning the ball.
But for now, the team seems content to give return duties to either Carr or Webb, both of whom have impressive resumes in the return game.
Carr ranked fourth in kick returns in the NFL last season with a 28.1-yard average and 13th in punt returns with a 10.1-yard average. His instincts and field vision appealed to the Ravens, who finished last season tied with the Green Bay Packers for last in kick returns and tied with the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles for 18th in punt returns.
"It's nice to know they think highly of me in the return game," Carr said. "I think I've proven myself. But you can't read too much into it. I'm just out there trying to compete and do the best that I can. ... Whatever they want me to do to help the team, that's great because I know I'll find my niche helping this team somewhere. Of course, I want to do everything, but if somebody beats me out and does something that's best for the team, that's fine."
In two years at Nicholls State, Webb averaged 27.9 yards on 38 kick returns and 16.3 yards on 26 punt returns, totaling three returns for touchdowns. Webb, who has the speed and elusiveness to make potential tacklers miss, said he won't put any pressure on himself.
"If it's meant to be yours, it's meant to be yours," said Webb, who fumbled a kickoff return that the New York Jets converted into a touchdown in the Ravens' 24-23 win Monday night. "But I don't think it puts any pressure. I just go out there and have fun and play football like I've been doing."
Carr and Webb figure to split a majority of the returns in the Ravens' final two preseason games against the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons. Rosburg said that time will be critical in determining the team's primary return specialist.
"The competition is ongoing - into the season even," Rosburg said. "We're still going to find the best guy out there, and it's going to be going all year long. You're always trying to get someone else's job, and somebody's always trying to get yours."
