Marcus Jones Holds the NFL Record for Yds/PR

[chevss454]

Marcus Jones should get another STs Player of the Week award for last night. (He now has 6 TDs on returns for his career).
And another All-Pro designation for 2025.

But did you also know that Marcus also grabbed the official all-time NFL record for yds/punt return with his 75th punt return last night?
75 returns are the minimum to qualify and it's really great to see him grab the title with his 94 yd TD run.
He leads a lot of great names in NFL history such as Devin Hester and Desmond Howard by almost 3 full yds/return. (those guys were pretty damn good)

On his 75th return, Jones moved to the top of the all-time leaderboard in style. He went back on a punt from the New York Giants, received it at his own 6-yard line, then went 94 yards for a touchdown.

After two other solid returns on the night, Jones' career punt return average now sits at 14.6 yards per return, which is now officially the NFL record.

Two players had previously been tied atop the board at 12.8 yards per punt return: George McAfee and Jack Christiansen, both old-timers who played before 1960.

Some notable names also in the top-10 include No. 7 Desmond Howard (11.9) and No. 9 Devin Hester (11.7).

The only other active player in the top-10 is Devin Duvernay, who is tied with Hester in the ninth spot with 11.7 yards per punt return.
