Oh and he can catch onside kicks and score touchdowns too!

    How many games did he change the momentum of? How many times did he flip-the-field on an opponent? His value as a Special Teams Ace cannot be overstated. He was a Sharpshooter. He was a Sidewinder. He was a Heat-seeker who brought his own heat. He was a Heartbreaker and a Playmaker dishing-out defeat. We all know where he belongs--Canton, OH. Tasker may not admit it, but he knows too; he's a Hall Of Fame Baller through-and-through. Regardless of the League or the Player's Association or WHOMEVER, Tasker #89, holds a special place in a multitude of hearts that bleed Red, White and Blue. We watched every Sunday from home or in the stands, and we did bear witness to a Special Sort of Greatness--one who looked like a Choir Boy carved out of Granite. #BillsMafia

    Ok, totally worth it. Steve Tasker's amazing! The only disappointment was his last game. I'm sure he was already highly emotional being that it was his final game of his excellent career. The man's definitely worthy of being a Hall of Famer. The NFL ought not discriminate his position, after all he was a multi-Tasker. 😉👉👉

    Think about these numbers folks: 4.3 in the forty, 6.5 yards per carry, 12 yards per pint return, 20 yards on both kick returns, and receptions, most tackles ever on special teams, most blocks ever on special teams, 13 years in the NFL. He is the greatest player in pro football 🏈 history at his position. He needs to be in the HoF.

    Steve Tasker. The only player in NFL history to be able to take over a game as a special teams player. Won a pro bowl MVP as a special teams player.

    It is mind blowing how many punt-blocks the Bills special teams used to get. Here in 2021, I don't think I've seen them do it once in over 2 years.
    But to be fair, NFL coaches are super wary of getting roughing the kicker penalties, what with the modern day kicker-friendly rule changes.
