Steve Rehage was a force back when you had wedges by the return team. I can remember as a kid him launching himself into it to bust it up.

Rusty Brown was a legend as the wall buster on kickoffs.

If we're going by one of each position

1. Holiday - Return Man
2. York - Kicker
3. 2011 Wing - Punter
4. Mathieu - Gunner

Kinchen, Holliday and Green are the best return men I’ve ever seen at LSU but we’ve had a ton of great ones.

Tyrann Mathieu
He's on my list, because not just a return guy (has a TD on punt return), as a gunner (forced fumbles on kickoffs in 2011 too).
Dude was simply a cheat code on the field that year.

Probably Brad Wing, as punter. He was the most unique punting weapon we've had as far as I recall, and physically gifted enough to score while taunting Florida

Beyond that, who do you take? York for leg strength, Cole Tracy for accuracy within 50 as a kicker?

Who would be the top pure return guy, Holliday?

Didn't we have a couple guys who blocked more than one kick? Would you take them over a specialist, because of how valuable that is to do?
