Those voters recognized his greatness during his playing days. He also was selected to both the 1970s All-Decade Team and the 1980s All-Decade team.

Upchurch kick it up pro#

Upchurch was an All-Pro five times and went to four Pro Bowls. For his career, he tallied 10,081 all purpose yards and has held 11 Denver Broncos team records. His four punt return touchdowns in a single season has been tied, but not bested.

His eight punt returns for touchdowns tied the all-time record and was not topped until 1997. Upchurch returned 248 punts for 3,008 yards. What he did during his nine years in the NFL warrant his name being on those lists. Many lists of the top returners of all-time include his name, even today. His reputation as the best punt returner in the history of the National Football League is well-earned. Upchurch was listed as a wide receiver, but he made his living returning kicks and punts. The player who was considered the greatest returner of all-time until very recent history, should warrant entry into Canton. However, the Hall of Fame is for players who were great on the field, regardless of how many offensive snaps they received. It is understandable that they get passed over because they are only on the field for a few plays per game. It is even harder for those players who were listed on the roster at one position, but were typically only used as special teams 'specialists' because that was their forte. Mike Price is a lifelong Packers fan currently living in Utah.Special teams players rarely get enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It’s probably worth trying to keep him long term to return kicks even if he isn’t a top slot corner. The total yards number doesn’t surprise me – because he returns everything – but the average does. After a great couple of weeks with some big returns, he leads the league in both total kick return yards and average per return. Keisean Nixon is back as the league’s premier kick returner.Of course, it didn’t matter a whole lot because the Steelers got whatever they wanted on the ground, but, hey, we’re looking for positives here. Despite having to start a 7 th round rookie and a practice squad member (earlier in the season) as the two outside corners, the Packers severely limited the, admittedly poor, Steelers pass game.The defense was rough and we’re going to need to dig deep for some positives there.If the Packers use their first-round pick on a tackle next season and actually decide to fix the center position, they’ll be right back in the running for top o-line. He’s looked very good when he isn’t tearing ancient special team coach rotator cuffs. Zach Tom has been a top-5 o-lineman according to PFF’s wins above replacement metric.It has been a timely bunch if improvements for the team because Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs have both disappointed in what was supposed to be big second seasons. Even Tucker Kraft got in on the fun with a catch this week and he has looked good blocking. Jayden Reed lead the team in receiving yards, Dontayvion Wicks is always open, and Luke Musgrave keeps securing 20-plus-yard receptions. The rookie pass catchers have shown out the past few weeks.

I don’t see a way for Green Bay to keep Dillon after this season, but good play from him now increases the chance that the team will get a comp pick for him and opens up the offense so that we can better judge other players. Aaron Jones was meh, but AJ Dillon continues to improve and had his career long run in the game.If Love can keep up the way he has played in the last two weeks and progress over the last eight games, I doubt the Packers will take a QB in the first round of the draft. He has a top 10 PFF grade over the past few weeks and would’ve broken 300 yards in this game if not for a few drops and weak attempts at 50/50 balls. The Packers lost, but your weekly Packers positives are still here. We’re definitely trending in the right direction (at least on offense) now.
