    It's called a generalization. Yes Hester starts and a few others have as well but a vast majority return specialists never did or could.

    They are great at what they do but do you really think that if Chris Johnson was just a returner he wouldn't be just as good or likely better?

    Exception to the rule. If/when he gets into the Hall of Fame his returning for five or so years will have very little to do with it.

    Take this for what it's worth, but in 2007, ESPN did a story about the Pro Football Hall of Fame and based on past inductions, there are roughly 50 active players who are future HOFers at a particular time.

    I don't think that; I know that. Speed and vision are two different animals when it comes to finding daylight and gaining yards from the line of scrimmage versus doing it with 11 guys running at you full speed from 70 yards away. Completely different skill sets.
