“This guy, to me, is the greatest returner ever,” Deion Sanders – a great returner in his time – said during the NFL Network discussion of Hester’s naming to the list. “Ever.”
High praise!
Hester was joined by punters Ray Guy and Shane Lechler, kickers Adam Vinatieri and Jan Stenerud, as well as fellow return specialist Billy “White Shoes” Johnson. Special teams aces tend to get overlooked on lists like these, so I’m glad the folks behind the scenes gave these guys their due.
