Question
Devin Hester will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday. Remarkably, he scored 6 touchdowns on returns in each of his first two seasons (7 on punts, 4 on kickoffs, and 1 on a missed field goal). In the Super Bowl era, no other player has more than one season with at least 3 touchdowns on kick returns. Who was the last player other than Hester to score 3 TDs on kick returns in a season?
Answer
Josh Cribbs (Browns 2009). Others: Eddie Drummond (Lions 2004), Dante Hall (KC 2003), Billy Johnson (Oilers 1973), Gale Sayers (Bears 1967), Travis Williams (Packers 1967), Cecil Turner (Bears 1970), Rick Upchurch (Broncos 1976). That’s the Bears with four of the 10 such seasons.
