GreggTX Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I can only think of Roscoe Parrish and Leodis McKelvin here. Andre Roberts may be considered today's best PR, but I don't think he's anywhere near as good as Roscoe and Leodis were. Some of those moves Parrish used to make were just insane! Am I leaving anyone out? I've been a Bills fan since day 1 and I don't recall anyone from the first 40 years (1960 - 2000) that was as exciting as these 2 guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Leodis Mckelvin was the most terrifying... sometimes for the Opposite coverage team and always for us fans 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During those years, any return was exciting because it was either McGee on KO's, or Roscoe on punts. Â One of my favorites was when McGee returned one in the third quarter against the Cowboys on MNF. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) In terms of being a good rep for the overall look of the team, Coach Levy. Â I am sure if you ask Russ Brandon this question, he'll say "Russ Brandon". * Your 'PR' might not be my 'PR'.

First Round Bust Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 your point is well taken that the position has become more a punt catcher than returner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Steve Tasker averaged 10.5 yds/PR for his career. Plus he averaged 20.7 on KR, plus 4 pro bowls as a ST and a Pro Bowl MVP. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I remember is that Toyota was running a promotion where they would randomly select a fan and if the Bills returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the third quarter, that fan would win a new car. And when McGee returned that one, that fan won the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLEN1QB Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Leodis was good but I sure remember more than a few devastating fumbles I cringed everything he had the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hot take: If Roscoe came along 10 years later he would have had a really nice career. The game has evolved so much since 2005. There is a place in these spread offenses for his skill set regardless of size. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
