This player returned a punt 90 yards for a TD and a missed FG 99 yards for a TD. Name the player. (I believe its the only player in history with a 90+ yard punt return TD and a 90+ yard FG return TD).

I was gonna say Timmy Brown, one of my all-time faves, but only because I remember him returning a missed FG 99 yds and he also had a bunch of ko/punt returns for scores. Is it Hester?

Gotta say that if somebody knows this - that's pretty impressive.

I'm hoping the answer is Super Gnat - Noland Smith because that would be pretty awesome if it was Super Gnat. Or Billy White Shoes Johnson.

Just looked at Hester. It says Hesters longest Punt Return was 89 yards. Missed by a hair

Wendell02 is right---Carl Taseff w/ Colts in 1956 (90 yd PR) and '59 (99-yd FG return). Interestingly, Taseff had a 96-yd FG return TD in '56. That's a pretty rare play---and the opportunities have dwindled immensely as FG kicking has become much more accurate since Taseff's day. Wonder if Taseff's 2 scores returning missed FGs are a record?
