Being one of the most electrifying aspects in football, there have been some great returners since the NFL merger.
When a player scores a touchdown on a kick or punt return, it does more than just put up six points on the board. It excites not only the crowd, but the players, too. It can also provide a spark for the team and possibly make them even better.
Thanks to the guys at the NFL Network, I bring you a list of the top ten kick returners in NFL history.
Example: Player's name, Team they're most known playing for
10. Dante Hall, Kansas City Chiefs
9. Desmond Howard, Green Bay Packers
8. Eric Metcalf, Cleveland Browns
7. Gale Sayers, Chicago Bears
6. Rick Upchurch, Denver Broncos
5. Mel Gray, Detroit Lions
4. Deion Sanders, Dallas Cowboys
3. Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, Houston Oilers
2. Brian Mitchell, Philadelphia Eagles/Washington Redskins
1. Devin Hester, Chicago Bears
