Greatest NFL Kick / Punt Returners

For anyone to sit there and second guess who's number #1 knows nothing about football. Devin "THE WINDY CITY FLYER" Hester broke records in his first 4 years in the nfl. Compared to guys like Hall & Sanders who took 10 years to get where they were. Well Voters Devin did this in half the time they did! SO YES DEVIN HESTER IS #1

"Most of Dante kick returns came when the team needed him, not like Hester. "

While Hester has been there the Bears have not dominated opponents. In other words, they ALWAYS needed him to do something big. And Hester doesn't get kicked to any more than Dante (or any great return man) did.

I'm a patriots fan and the only player I want with us is Devin Hester he is young and very good every year he gets better if we had him we will have more points because of the great field positions so don't hate this guy.

I say devin Hester,he has 23 punt and kick return tds! That is also why he is my favorite player. Devin Hester #1

All-time kick returner for touchdown leader. He is way better than 5th!

Remember a little thing called the immaculate deception? Come on people!

Kick offs are more difficult to return than punts. The opponent has a running start at you, and more than likely, you are coming out of your own endzone, that's why I believe Cribbs is the best. Hester is amazing, but I would take Joshua's kick return ability first. - FONZIEjacket61

So on punt returns they don't have a running start on you? Hmm we watching the same sport

I went to collage with him saw him there and the NFL he was the BEST ever Collage and Pros

He was the best and the most entertaining. Loved watching him return!

The BEST of all time, especially considering his height!

Whiteshoes was good, but you left out Rick Upchurch, he was just as good. You pchurch retired as the all time yardage leader!

Nice he plays for seahawks AWESOME

Should be Top 10, he and Hester are tied for most kick/punt return TDs in NFL History.

He is the second best returner, just behind Hester. And Washington is now with the Tennessee Titans. The best team in NFL

I have to agree with the posts here... In particular, Hall always came through when his team needed him the most. Game changer. Don't kick the Ball to Dante Hall! He would've broken more records had teams actually done that. Hats off to the human joystick!

He got kicked to less and he did it with very little special teams help.. His returns weren't one cut and up the field returns, his returns where he should of been tackled 10 times but he juked the whole team returns.. He should be #1 hands down...

The most Explosive, elusive, and exciting kick returner since Sayers and "white shoes" Johnson

The Best

He should be in the Hall of Fame. Only Jerry Rice has more All-Purpose Yards than Mitchell's 22,000. 19,000 of those yards are in the return game, where he also had 13 TDs. Only one other person has 15,000 return yards. Brian Mitchell is miles (literally) ahead of anyone in return yardage in the history of the NFL. Greatest returner ever. All-Time leader in punt and kick yards.

All-time in kick return and punt return yards. Can't argue with that.

How in the world is deion sanders ahead of mitchell.. how is anybody ahead of mitchell the stats speak for themselves.. hester a great number 2 here

Are you kidding me?!? How is Roscoe not on this list right below Devin Hester?

Wow as fast as Barry with Barry like moves made that team a legit threat

Mel Gray of the Detroit Lions should be #1

I saw Gayle Sayers play on TV when I was A kid. He was as a man against boys. In the rain and mud he was sensational. The guy didn't walk on water but he could sure run on mud.

Gale Sayers only played for about six seasons, but he was one heck of a return man.

Two Chicago players are top tens man whats up New York Chicagos coming back

The guy never played in college and didn't catch punts until he got to the nfl

Vai is a bad man.. Nasty punt returner...Punch that goal post Vai he was the pioneer of the goal post punching bag celebration and he had a lot of chances to do it cause he was electric

Holds the record for most punt returner for a rookie and made it to the hall of fame in 1970.

He may not be hester but considering the blocks he gets and what he does with them you gotta give him credit
