Parrish held the career return td record for 20 years until Deion Sanders passed him. He is still 5th in NFL history. He also has the highest single season punt return average since the AFL/NFL merger (18.8 in 1974 which is the 8th best mark in league history).
He went to 6 Pro Bowls (as a CB not return man) for the Bengals and 2 more times for the Redskins. He was First Team All-Pro in 1979 and 2nd team in 1980 (also as CB) for Washington.
His 47 career ints place him in the top 50 all-time
He was ProFootballReference's First Team All-Decade CB for the 1970's.
Lemar Parrish would be one of my two.
And Isaac Curtis. He had a rule named after him that changed the NFL to this day.
