"Rossum has a very credible case as the team's best returner ever. Only Deion Sanders (5), Darrick Vaughn (4), and Tim Dwight (3) have as many combined scores as a returner, and Rossum has both the top volume numbers in team history and some of the better rate numbers."
"The raw stats: 250 kick returns (1st), 5,489 kick return yards (1st), 1 kick return TD (T-4th), 22 yards per kick return (20th), 154 punt returns (1st), 1,723 punt return yards (1st), 2 punt return TDs (T-1st), 11.2 yards per punt return (3rd)"
"you can really get a feel for what made him an excellent returner: A combination of excellent vision, real patience and breakaway speed when he needed to use it."
Allen Rossum and Eric Weems are competing for the title of best Falcons returner over the past 25 years. Rossum leads the franchise in multiple return categories: 250 kick returns, 5,489 kick return yards, 154 punt returns, and 1,723 punt return yards. He also ranks third in yards per punt return at 11.2 and has combined return touchdowns. While other notable returners like Devin Hester and Darrick Vaughn had impressive performances, they spent limited time with Atlanta. Rossum's combination of excellent vision, patience, and breakaway speed made him an exceptional returner, establishing him as a strong candidate for the franchise's best returner position.
