Eric Rowe. Man could play slot really well just not on the islands
Pete Johnson was a 260 pound fullback in the 70s and 80s, in those days that was about the size of an offensive guard.
Well known as the best short yardage back of his era, if not all time. Has one of the best attempt/TD rates ever
Paul Seymour, the third tackle in front of Simpson. Devastating blocker.
All-American tackle at Michigan!
Devin Hester will go to the Hall of Fame for being the best kick/punt returner ever.
Terrible receiver, God Tier kick returner.
doubt it
I don’t. He was a finalist the last two years.
Taysom Hill seems pretty niche.
He’s so niche he’s the best because he is 1 of 1
Dante Hall
Walter Payton. In terms of being a running back, he was elite at catching, blocking, and throwing.
For a few seasons the panthers had Rhys Lloyd who was only there for his elite Kickoffs
Devin Hester?
I think Juju Smith-Schuster and TJ Houshmanzadeh are elite WR2's. Do not ask either of them to be a WR1, for some reason they can't do it. Not in their DNA.
But ask them to be a WR2 and they'll pop.
Steve Tasker
Matthew Slater
Sam Gash, nobody could clear out holes better. Only running back to make the pro bowl without a single carry in a season.
Kassim Osgood as the gunner, David Binn as the long snapper
Hines Ward: THE blocking WR.
Steve Tasker from the Bills - probably the best special teams player of all time and was not a kicker
Wiki: spent 13 seasons in the NFL from 1985 to 1997, with 12 of them in Buffalo. He was a five-team first-team All-Pro and was selected to seven Pro Bowls as a special teamer. Tasker is regarded as one of the best special teamers of all time.
Sherrick McManis. At one point he was the longest tenured player for the Chicago Bears but was almost exclusively a special teams ace. Guy was a phenom gunner on punts and kicks.
Marcus Sherels
RB Leroy Hoard once said, "if coach says get me 2 yards, I'll get you 4. If coach says get me 6 yards....I'll get you 4."
Nobody could run the wildcat like Ronnie Brown
Jets intentionally signed Justin Hardee in 2021 as a gunner specialist, and has been their special teams captain every season since. He made the pro bowl last season as well. He is an elite gunner and is who I watch on every Jets punt, dude is the tackler on almost every punt. Here is a highlight video of his 2022 play https://youtu.be/SsnBflswW7Y?si=wfDEHfPS1XI_ia39
Travis Jervey. Made the pro bowl as a special teamer
Joseph Addai's best skill was arguably pass protection even though he was a RB
Steve Tasker should be in the HOF.
