The longest standing Steelers individual player and team records
65 Seasons
Over the years, Pittsburgh has had some great speedy kickoff returners such as Rod Woodson and Antonio Brown. However, the highest kickoff return average in a career belongs to two-time Pro Bowl halfback, wing-back, and tailback Lynn Chandnois. Between 1950-1956 his 92 kickoff returns for 2720 gave him an average return average of 29.6 yards. In 1952 he also led the NFL averaging 35.2 yards per return, and also led the league twice on kick-off returns for touchdowns in 1952 with two and 1953 with one.
