You never know...former Jag Dan Connolly had a 70-plus yard kick return for TD...just get three of those in a game and you're on the list!

I know you're being facetious, but it reminds me of another point regarding return yardage.  At least on kickoff returns, the returner is a lot of times getting 20 yards before defenders are in the vicinity which significantly cheapens including return yardage in any comparison or total yardage from scrimmage calculation in my mind.  Punt returns can vary of how much room a returner has to get going before defenders are in the area, but it's usually a lot less than 20.
