I assume they factored in the averages and the overall usage.

Anyway, here's the list:

1. Deion Sanders
2. Dwayne Harris
3. Mel Renfro
4. Bob Hayes
5. Kelvin Martin
6. Kevin Williams
7. Reggie Swinton
8. Patrick Crayton
9. Butch Johnson
10. Hershal Walker

"1. Deion Sanders – Who else? No one provided as much as excitement as a returner than Deion. Or it could be called “fear” from the punter’s perspective because every time Sanders got the ball, it had a chance to go all the way. Sanders is the Cowboys’ all-time leader with a 13.3 average per return. He’s the only player with four punt returns for touchdowns, including two in 1998 when he finished first in the NFL with a 15.1 average and made the Pro Bowl as both a cornerback and return specialist."

"2. Dwayne Harris – Maybe not as flashy as some of the others below him, but Harris wrapped up his four years with the club as one of the most accomplished return specialists in club history. He edged Renfro for first all-time on kick returns with a 26.5 average and finished tied for second in club history on punt returns with an 11.1 average. His 30.6 yards per return in 2013 is the highest single-season average in club history. In a win over the Commanders that year, Harris was NFC Special Teams Player of the Week with an 86-yard punt return for a score, along with a 90-yard kickoff return. "

Was hoping the article would include more highlight videos. The one that was included was pretty sick. One of the best returns I've ever seen, period.

It's just a sad shame that Sanders couldn't have been a more classy individual.

Screw that. He was an entertainer and that's what he did.

I guess so, if you like watching people dance and shout me me me me.

He wasn't classless. That's just something people say when they know what they really thing would get them banned.

That one game where the league made a new award to honor his TDs on punt and into returns and his long catch at WR to set up a TD... All with Aikman out and some scrub backup - Jason something or another starting was epic

I agree. He could have been universally praised, but now at least half of fans and media despise him.

Personally, I don't get caught up in players off-the-field character. I we would probably dislike many of them if we really knew them personally. I see them as Gladiators. The Romans didn't care about the Gladiators personalities.

Half? I think you are underestimating by a wide margin.

Fwiw,count me as one that does not dispise him.
But I would've admired him a bit more if he wasn't a weenie.
