How long has it been since an Eagle returned a kick for a TD? Was Brian Mitchell the last one to do it?

It's been so long that I almost cant remember. Hopefully DeSean can solve this dilemma.

You can't forget BWesty's famous return against the Giants. Not sure if that was the last.

The last punt return for a TD was that one by Westbrook in 2003. He had 2 TD's on punt returns that year.

The last kickoff to be returned for a touchdown for the Eagles was Brian Mitchell in 2001. (source: NFL.com)

Hopefully Jackson will be a huge upgrade from last year. If he had been on the team last year the Green Bay game would have been a win, we would have been in the playoffs, and who knows what would have happened, based on how well they were playing at the end of last season.

Is it bad that the first thing I thought was, "Those were some piss-poor attempts at tackling"?

r.i.p. reno

you know he wont just go away.

he'll be around in some sort of way, on the TV, radio, behind a bar, etc...

just to keep his fair-catching, pass dropping, JV football body in our minds for the next 5 years of the andy reid era.

I think B-west's return was off of a punt though. I was referring to the last time we scored off a kickoff.

I really cant remember the last one.
