It's interesting to bring a few other great returners into this comparison:
	Punt returns	TD	Ratio		Kick Returns	TD	Ratio		Total Returns	TD	Ratio

Devin Hester	269	14	19.2			212	6	35.3			481	20	24.1
Deion Sanders 228 5 45.6 155 3 51.7 383 8 47.9
Gale Sayers 27 2 13.5 91 6 15.2 118 8 14.8
Eric Metcalf 351 10 35.1 280 2 140.0 631 12 52.6
Leon Washington 174 0 --- 266 8 33.3 440 8 55.0
Josh Cribbs 203 3 67.7 407 8 50.9 610 11 55.5
Brian Mitchell 463 9 51.4 607 4 151.8 1070 13 82.3


Hester is really the most prolific returner. If Gale Sayers could have kept that knee healthy, I think he would be the one everyone would still be chasing. His 6 kick return TDs came in his first 3 years, on 60 returns ... an average of a TD every 10 returns. You look at his rushing numbers also, and you can see why he made the HOF with only 5 years of playing in the NFL.
