Longest Punt Returns in NFL History (93+ yards)

no bullshit music, no annoying templates. straight clips with original commentators. thanks for these bro

These are the kinda videos you look for when you only have 30 minutes lunch breaks. Lmao

[@jaywunder13242]

Yes. Good review, but the music tended to make him hard to hear.

[@marshalltaylor2869]

I'm glad they didn't keep replaying the same hit over and over again. That gets annoying too.

[@zalbert19]

EXACTLY, as much as the music can add a nice touch (if it's not way to loud) i'd MUCH rather listen to the commentary than music

[@shipofthesun]

8:19 I love the way Bailey looks around for a second to make sure he's really seeing this. Brilliant play, and shame² on NO.

[@officerricky4681]

Patrick peterson's punt return was sick wicked and nasty.

[@janaeashton9397]

Silky Johnson and he won the game with that play

[@robertslydell6990]

I'm a Cardinals season ticket holder and I was there. I had to take a whizz so bad and couldn't wait any longer so I hauled ass to the can and while I was doing my business I hear the crowd roar so I missed everything but the celebration. And the Cardinals were total shit so missing out on the few bright spots was a big deal.

[@doofus9575]

The Patrick Peterson one is beautiful, and it was fitting how it ended the game in OT. Remember watching that one in the basement on RedZone, as it was the last game to end of the day (apart from the SNF game) and being stunned by the slow spin. One of my favorite plays of all time from a player not on my favorite team.

[@juicywhiteman5850]

Pat Pete's return is an amazing play and I love it, but my favorite play not from my fav team (go Giants) has to be Steve Gleason's blocked punt. It may not have been flashy but the mark it left on those unfortunate NO residents will never be forgotten. EVER!

[@rees5124]

I remember screaming during that play and the next day I had no vioice

[@doofus9575]

Sam Rosen does a great job at announcing the play, too. Captures all the emotion of the moment.

[@Tribulator]

The 2 most exciting plays in the NFL: long punt returns and long kickoff returns. And to think the NFL wanted to get rid of kickoffs, at least that's what I heard.

[@rogermartin8009]

Tf you got against the saints if you like the steelers clown

[@CaptFalcon725]

@@rogermartin8009 I am from New Orleans and loathe the team, particularly Drew Brees, who played his whole career like the Chargers trade was yesterday. While all fanbases have their toxicity, Saints fans were particularly bad because New Orleans was built around celebrations and tourism. So it felt like all of NOLA took an L when the Saints did. And I find that ridiculous. Update to @rico mcgee: I'm engaged to a girl from Atlanta.

[@BattleOverride856]

At 4:45 at the end of that run, that celebration was a savage diss to Cleveland and the Cavs

[@charlesjonessr3684]

And the fact that got away with holding and they still lost the game.

[@garrison6863]

That play at 7:50 is amazing. Never saw anything like it before.

[@MrGNugget]

garrison 68 and will never be seen again, glad they changed that rule

[@redpillfreedom6692]

@@MrGNugget The rule doesn't forbid the player from catching the punt in the endzone and running it out. So technically it's not unbreakable, but it will be a while before someone does break it.

[@NeonKC]

best crowd reaction has got to be that Dante Hall one in Kansas City or maybe that bears one towards the end

[@Substance8967]

Yeaaaaa I said the same thing they were going crazyyyy

[@edwardoutlawjr8154]

That Patrick Peterson return was 🔥🔥

[@ATLsF1N3ST91]

Mannnn Dante Hall had a couple seasons where people were comparing his return skills to Deion Sanders. Hester made us quickly forget about him though lmao

[@SHERIFF565r]

Corron Johnson One of the best all time nicknames: The human joystick!

[@kennethcadwell2124]

Not really as Hester did not have the type of returns that Dante Hall had, as Hall had many like the Denver one in this video where he shouldn't have even gotten 5 yards let alone a TD, but he miraculously made it happen. Hall and other Chiefs returners have also taken kickoff returns end zone to end zone just like Hester.......

[@Substance8967]

Yooo 7:14 Kansas City was juuumping that's the best reaction I seen for a return ever

[@jacobrobinson787]

That return by Bailey is quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen in Football. XD

[@gynandroidhead]

I love heads-up plays like that, but I also like Robert Bailey because he leveled Chris Samuels on the opening kickoff in the 1991 Cotton Bowl

[@seekthelighttruth3207]

Haha hell yea what a bounce. Go rams

[@vdenies--231]

If you look at the one with Banks on the redskins he let the ball go before he got in the touchdown

[@toddmcanulty9003]

Yes that's what I said on here and found your comment!

[@israelcastro3844]

Yeah just like Jackson did

[@mikekralj1447]

I almsot gave you a "C'mon Man' for no Devin Hester... but I looked up his stats and see he's had a few 89 yarders so I can see why he was excluded. His 90+ yarders were all kickoff returns

[@s1ickst3r59]

Mike Kralj I was wondering if Hester would show up in this video, and then I saw this comment.

[@joelmandujanojr7722]

He still should have been on here regaurdless. He had the same amount of returns we saw in this video in one year

[@IndianaNature]

I was thinking the same thing

[@abhishekiyer5823]

Dante Hall is the most underrated returner in history. Easily the second greatest return man of all time

[@goalscorerlajon]

Let me preface this by saying I'm only 41 but, Leonard Marshall is RUNNING THE RIGHT WAY!

[@DS-wk1kn]

Jim Marshall?

[@khilliii9721]

Lineman running at 4:02 beside hall had some wheels for a big man! I know hall wasn’t running fast fast but he still was moving pretty good

[@brettblack6788]

None of these guys can top what Dante Hall could do or even did in 13 straight games. He was special.

[@ColumbiaB]

I agree with Vasiliy: at 4:35, Washington’s Banks is VERY close to dropping the ball before it has actually crossed the vertical plane above the goal line. I wonder if this was before the NFL instituted automatic review of all TD plays. That sort of careless showboating turns a great return into a bonehead play.

[@arthurkorff]

The crack back blocks got me lol

[@DS-wk1kn]

Was that Jim Lampley on the Pickens return? I don't remember him doing NFL broadcasts.

[@baxter1896]

Did it for a few years in the early 90s

[@christmashake8968]

I was about to say the same thing! XD I THOUGHT I recognized that unmistakable voice...

[@SipmadeJah]

You Just made the best 12 minutes Of My Week!!! :)

[@jonathan24x]

8:19 Talk about a miracle play, Bailey was on point with that ball bounce, picked it up, hauled ass, runs a 103 yard punt return from endzone to endzone to score (first to ever do it and sets an NFLrecord), and the saints were just full of question marks. You just gotta respect that one. What are the odds of that ever happening again?

[@jeremiahedwards2962]

When tyreek hill stiff armed his own teammate to the ground😂😂😂

[@418cjpaul]

great video! I was also impressed by the first punt...70 yards in the air!

[@AndrewBlechinger]

3:41 Wow. Leave it to the Lions to mess up downing a punt inside the 10. Edit: Okay, I get it now. This happened in 1994, when a punt had to be downed by the kicking team if it was in the end zone. Everyone assumed it would roll past the end line for a touchback, but it took a Ram bounce to stay in bounds and Bailey capitalized. The rule changed in 2004 where a punt was automatically a touchback if it crossed the goal line, hence these acrobatics by the coverage team to keep it out of the end zone without going in themselves. So until this rule is changed back, that 103 yard punt return TD will stand as the NFL record.

[@SHERIFF565r]

Had forgotten how incredibly fast,Dexter McCluster,was.

[@JeremyFrensko-lh4ur]

[@scottbogen1168]

I just came here to comment that. Pause at 4:35 and watch frame by frame (using . and , if you are on a keyboard). He clearly lost control of the ball before getting in.

[@odomisan]

It was a shame it wasn't reviewed. He's just going to be another dude who returned a punt for TD, but if it was overturned he would be immortalized as an idiot.

That music in the old school videos is the best lol

[@SDesWriter]

The Rams return was bullshit. BOTH teams had their regular squad run onto the field during the return, meaning there should have been offsetting Too Many Men penalties, which would mean it would have to be re-kicked. I never understood how they just ignored that.

[@TheRmm1976]

1:30 I never knew Carl Pickens returned punts... Or Dez for that matter 3:22

[@sasuke4612]

The Redskins return at 4:34, did he let go of the ball before he crossed into the touchdown? From a couple of times rewatching and pausing, it looks VERY close to me.

[@kalemtheawesome8152]

Luigi6545 I think he did lol

[@bradmccullough8240]

I love how the announcers say touchdown before the returner gets the touchdown

[@daleftuprightatsoldierfield]

I know this video is a year old, but the punt at 7:29 should have been a touchback. Any punt that touches the ground in the end zone is automatically ruled a touchback and a dead ball. The play should have been over with no return. However, I might be mistaken as the clip is probably from before I was born and the rule might have been different at the time.

[@chubbycatfish4573]

It happened in 1994. The touchback rule didn't come until 2004.

[@sirmely]

We gotta give a hand to the kickers just for kicking it this far

at 6:12, the announcers keep talking about a fair catch, and how there wasn't one, but that's a non sequitur. Once the ball hits the ground, as this punt did, the fair catch is cancelled.

[@brambeezy4434]

[@ckobo84]

5:15 What about #57 for the packers, he almost tackles his own returner to start with then proceeds to run along side him by the sideline where there is no possibility of him throwing a useful block but there is a possibility of him accidently tackling him again. Their feet almost get tangled up and he could have easily tripped him.
