In “recent” times I can think of Chad Jones, TM7, and D.J. Chark. And of course, not exactly a punt return, but:



Still pissed it was called back

Not a punt return but will never forget OBJ housing a kick-six against UAB

Best return I viewed live didn’t go for a score. Mathieu return vs UGA where he got tripped up at the end.

Todd Kinchen deserves mention. Did it in the NFL as well.

Billy Cannon’s of course was in a class by itself.
But Eddie Kenneson’s return against Mississippi State was as exciting as they come.

Maybe not the best one but Skylar Green's return against Auburn in 2005 has stuck with me LITERALLY since that night. I was there and right before the punt, I called it. When he broke lose I (along with everyone else in the stadium) jumped up and threw my hands up. Felt something funny in my abdomen and ended up giving myself a hernia . Luckily its never caused me any real issues but its gotten a decent bit bigger over the last few years.

I wear it as a badge of honor

Not against big time rival, but K. Caulk’s punt return against Houston in 1996 was huge. I was there. Year 2 under Dinardo.

LAU trailed 34-14 entering the 4th. First play of the 4th was the punt return. Tigers scored 21 unanswered to win 35-34.

Went on the a 10-2 season.

My 3 favorites in no particular order:

* Chad Jones vs. Ole Miss (the birth of the Windmill)
* Trindon vs. Arky in the 2009 Pro Combat game ("Forget It Right Now!!!" from his own 30 remains one of the most underrated calls ever)
* Honey Badger vs. Georgia (Big Players in Big Games. There was none bigger when they needed it the most)

That time Greg Clayton caught it and went forward 3 yards was pretty epic. One of the best in several years.

If Tyrann Scores on the 2nd punt return against Georgia thats a damn strong argument for one of the best returns of all time. Literally made 8 people miss by himself and the ninth just got him by a shoelace.

Craig Burns and Tommy Casanova returning multiple punts on reverses was awesome! Especially against Ole MRs.
