Do you know what I realized is that Ruvell Martin has almost caught more touchdowns then Desmond Howard. I'm young a never had a chance to really watch the good old days but I always thought Desmond Howard was like a great WR for some reason. I guess returning a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown in Superbowl made me think it.. I recently looked him up and said to myself wow. here's his numbers..

Desmond was a glorified return man and sucked at wr. Even coming out of college they had him returning kicks.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Desmond Howard IMHO really blew it. He had a great year with The Packers as a return man. Topped it off with a SB MVP.

He could have stayed in Green Bay, and been a bonified star for a few more years, but like most, the lure of more money got to him.

He signed with The Raiders the next year for around 1M, and pretty much was never heard from again.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

He was ok on the Raiders aswell from what I've seen. Like you said, not GB spectacular, but still, very good numbers for a kick returner.

This always make me think though. Had he stayed with GB and had he had another 9 years of kick returning like he had in 1996, do you think he could've gone in the HoF? I mean, ST players might just be the most underrated guys and if Steve Tasker can't get in, can a KR/PR get in? They do have a more spectacular job, but still.

Screw Howard. Mayes had all the star talent possible.. but for some reason he didnt pan out. Too bad.

If you watched all that season Desmond actually could of had i think atleast 3 more returns but got tripped up by the last guy. I did notice you watch him during the returns he wasn't the Devin Hester type and just use his speed and run straight, Desmond actually made cuts and broke tackles alot. He was a joy to watch that year and as Brett said put the Packers over the top that year.

I wish we could get our return game that deadly again.
