Josh Cribbs or Devin Hester?

Who do you take? Here are their stats....

I'll throw Leon Washington into the mix, also.

Cribbs has 8 tackles on kickoff coverage in addition to the returns.

Hester (KR) 22.9 avg, 1 TD, (PR) 15.9 avg, 2 TD

Cribbs (KR) 32.4 avg, 2 TD, (PR) 9.8 avg, 0 TD

Washington (KR) 33.5 avg, 3 TD, (PR) 6.6 avg, 0 TD

    Definitely Hester. My reasoning? Look how much teams kick away from him, and he still manages to make the big plays. Also, notice how much better Hester's punt return numbers are. He has a kick return TD on top of that. Washington may be the best kickoff specialist in the NFL, but Hester is the best all around returnman. Also, Hester has shown at least some potential to contribute on the field as well as on special teams (that 81 yard TD). Cribbs and Washington would not scare me if I were a defense.

    I will pick devin hester in the special team returner, think about it, devin hester has 9 Special team td in 2 years( excluding the kickoff return he did vs the colts in the cuper bowl). remember he was a rookie. Also it took dante hall 12 TD in 7 years.

    reason why devin hester kick return is low because they kick it or squibbed it away from him. remember that kick return that was kicked away from him he ran up and caught and took off.

    Josh Cribbs is nice and leon washington is nice i rather have a devin hester returing kickoffs and punts.

    hester is a better returner and the best returner the league has seen yet.. of course that'll change in the near future especially since cribbs is legit, and washington is getting up there.. but if ur lookin at stats and fantasy u gotta take cribbs cuz teams still aren't kicking it to hester as much

    I've seen what Devin can do on a consistant basis and people are afraid to kick to him, i'd have to go with Hester on this one.
