Cordarrelle Patterson is a former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2013 and while he hasn't lived up to that draft spot strictly as a wideout, he has as an all-around playmaker.
Patterson is one of the best returners of all-time and his 104-yard kick return TD against the team that drafted him tied an NFL record for most kick return scores in NFL history with 8.
You're probably asking yourself where Patterson ranks all-time in total return TDs because if he's got 8 on kick returns, he has to have a few on punt returns right? Wrong....he has not returned a punt and he's well behind the all-time lead, which, before you ask, we're going to give to you.
5. Josh Cribbs, 8 kick returns and 3 punt returns
Josh Cribbs was ELECTRIC for the Browns and is considered by many to be the greatest kick returner of all-time.
4. Eric Metcalf, 2 kick returns and 8 punt returns
Yeah, the Browns have had a really good history of returners and Eric Metcalf was a weapon on special teams and offence.
3. Dante Hall, 6 kick returns and 6 punt returns
You don't get the nickname 'The Human Joystick' for nothing. Every time Hall touched the ball, something good happened, especially in the return game.
2. Brian Mitchell, 4 kick returns, 9 punt returns
Surprising to see this name as the man who has the second most return touchdowns in NFL history, but Mitchell was consistent to say the least and you never wanted to kick the ball to him.
1. Devin Hester, 5 kick returns and 14 punt returns
The GOAT and most likely the first pure returner that will one day be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Hester not only has the most combined punt and kick return touchdowns in history, but the most return TDs in history (that includes INTs, Fumble, and missed field goal returns)
