WR/RS Dante Hall
A fifth-round draft pick in 2000, Hall is remembered as one of the greatest return specialists to ever play the game. He was nicknamed “The Human Joystick” for his ability to stop on a dime and make opponents miss.
Here’s a look at some of his accolades:
- Pro Bowler (2002 and 2003).
- First-Team All-Pro (2002).
- 2nd NFL player to return both a kick and punt for a touchdown in a single game (2002).
- Second-Team All-Pro (2003).
- Most career kick returns, yardage and kickoffs and punts returned for touchdowns in Chiefs franchise history.
- No. 5 in NFL history in total kick return yardage (10,136).
- NFL 2000s All-Decade Team (Punt and Kick returner).
Return specialists have rarely been recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Without a dominant career as a receiver, it’ll be difficult for Hall to make it.
