When Roscoe Parrish returns a punt, everyone from his teammates, the opponent and fans hold their collective breath.
Blessed with great speed and elusiveness, Parrish is a threat to score from anywhere on the field. If you don’t believe it, just ask him.
“Every time I catch the ball I think I’m gone,” said the Buffalo Bills’ return ace. “That’s what you’ve got to think as a punt returner. I’m gone. You can’t think anything less.”
Although Parrish has taken only one punt back for a touchdown, he is having one of the best seasons ever for a punt returner.
He leads the NFL with a 19.4- yard average, which would shatter the Bills’ single- season record of 13.1 set by Keith Moody in 1977. Parrish also has an outside shot at the NFL mark held by Herb Rich, who averaged 23 yards on 12 punt returns for the Baltimore Colts in 1950.
Parrish is just one part of the Bills’ special teams, which are gunning for a top-three finish in the NFL for a fourth consecutive year.
According to the Dallas Morning News’ special teams rankings, which are regarded by NFL teams as the most accurate, the Bills were No. 1 overall in 2004 and ’05. They were rated third in 2006.
