Bears' Devin Hester Sets New Single-Season Kick Return TD Record



Bears return man extraordinaire Devin Hester has returned a punt 64 yards for a touchdown this afternoon against the Saints. That's his fourth punt return touchdown this season, and he also has two kickoff return touchdowns, giving Hester the all-time single-season record for combined kick return touchdowns, with six.

The old record was five, set by Hester last year. Yes, Hester has been in the NFL for two seasons, and those two seasons are the only two times in NFL history that a player has had more than four combined kick returns for a touchdown.

And those records count neither the missed field goal that Hester returned for a touchdown last year, nor the fact that he returned the opening kickoff of the Super Bowl for a touchdown. Is there any doubt that he's the best kick returner in NFL history?

Saints coach Sean Payton said before the game that keeping Hester from touching the ball was the Saints' highest priority for this game. Whoops.

Nope. The man is in a league of his own.

I would rate him first...followed by maybe Gale Sayers, Dieon Sanders, and Billy White Shoes Johnson...then maybe Dante Hall.

You can't forget about Cribbs. He has been great for the Browns. He returned a punt and almost had a kick returned today. Today, I think he is only behind Hester

He should've had another yesterday, but it was called back due to a phantom hold.
