Hester scored 37 career TD not 17

Rush TD - 1
Receiving TD - 16
Punt Return TD - 14
Kickoff Return TD - 5
Other TD - 1

37 touchdowns = 222 points my guy not 102

Here is a breakdown on Hester’s yards:
Rushing - 116
Receiving - 3,311
Punt Return - 3,695
Kickoff Return - 7,333

*Total Yards - 14,455

Lol .... Hester had 295 kickoff returns.   Back in the day, a player didn't even get hit on a kickoff return until he hit the 20-25 yard line.  Based on 295 returns x an automatic 20 yards, pretty much anyone that could run a straight line could get 5,900 yards (of his 7,333 yards) before event taking a hit.

Heck, if you want to factor in all purpose yards, then Freddie T (14,079) only has 914 more yards than MJD (13,165) so why isn't MJD being talked about in the same manner as Freddie T?  Because 90% of the return yards from a kickoff are a joke.

Because Jones-Drew had almost a 3 and half-season head start. I think about Fred sitting on the sideline with his helmet under his arm for 55 games, and then comes that 56th game, and the coach finally puts him in and says “go rush for 11,000 yards and get in the top 15 all time.”

*after the 2010 season Fred Taylor ranked 15th all-time in rushing yards. Another 1,000 yards would have put him 9th, just ahead of Jim Brown.
