ANy returners or punters that are top notch??

[Pats726]

Just curious if there any retuners who are outstanding this year...always looking for the Hester-type of player that is always a threat..or of a bomming punter that makes an impact..NOT sure if there are any like that this year.

Chris Johnson probably leads the list of "Hester-type" players.

DeSean Jackson could be a pretty special returner.

Tyvon Branch
