Career Punt Returning

The following list includes every Chicago Bear who at least had one punt return or some punt return yards. Currently, there are 152 Bears in this dataset. The players are sorted by yards. Only a player's stats with the Bears are included; other teams that a player may have played for are ignored. This includes when the Bears were known as the Staleys back in 1920-21. There is a definite possibility of errors in this dataset due to 1) an error on my part, 2) the sources were in error, or 3) the sources didn't include a certain player. Only touchdown data was available for the 1933-1940 period. Players in bold are current players.
