First up were the quarterbacks, then the running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs. Today, we finish things off with the special teams players .

Don expect this year to see a repeat of 2000, when the Raiders picked kicker Sebastian Janikowski 17th overall.

Devin Hester will be remembered as one of the most dangerous return men ever, but he is now 31 and on the down side of his career. The Bears opted not to re sign him after last season, and he went to the Falcons. Last season, rookie Cordarrelle Patterson of the Vikings emerged as the league best kickoff returner. He brought back Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys two for touchdowns. Andy Lee of the 49ers has rated among the NFL best punters recently. Justin Tucker of Baltimore and Matt Prater of Denver stood out among kickers in 2013.

He didn play against stiff competition, but he had four kickoff returns for touchdowns, including one last year (on just two returns) and three in 2012 on 17 returns.

Nate Freese, K, Boston College, 5 foot 11, 185 pounds

The Giants loaded up on accomplished kick and punt returners this offseasn, hoping that Trindon Holliday and Quintin Demps will allow Rueben Randle and Jerrel Jernigan a better opportunity to be immersed in the offense. That being said, versatility is key when selecting rookies, and Jerry Reese wants players that will be able to contribute on special teams. The Giants re signed kicker Josh Brown and like they have in Steve Weatherford, so don't expect them wholesale jerseys to blow one of their seven picks on a kicker or punter.
