Dec 22, 2004, 10:40:12 AM
The National Football League informed the Chiefs on Wednesday that WR Dante Hall has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. It is the sixth time in his career he has been chosen for the award, tying WR Tamarick Vavover as the only other Chiefs players to win the special teams honor six times with Kansas City. Hall received the award once in 2002 and four times in 2003.
Hall (5-8, 187) (http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/dante_hall/) returned the opening kickoff for a 97-yard touchdown to give the Chiefs a quick 7-0 lead only 13 seconds into last week’s 45-17 win vs. Denver (12/19). He finished the game with three kickoff returns for 111 yards (37.0 avg.). It was his second touchdown via a kickoff return of the season, tying the Chiefs single-season record. It was also his fifth career kickoff return touchdown and his ninth career special teams touchdown, moving him ahead of Vanover for the Chiefs all-time lead in each category.
The five-year veteran has returned 57 kickoffs for 1,458 yards (25.6 avg.) and 20 punts for 226 yards (11.3 avg.) so far in 2004. Hall’s 57 kickoff returns are tied as the top single-season mark in team history, while his 1,458 kickoff return yards are just 20 yards short of the top spot. He ranks second in the AFC and fifth in the NFL with a 25.6 kickoff return average. He ranks first in team history with 231 kickoff returns and 5,617 kickoff returns.
The Texas A&M product was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week four consecutive weeks in 2003 when he returned a kick for a touchdown an NFL record four straight games. Hall scored on a 100-yard and a 97-yard kickoff return vs. Pittsburgh (9/14/03) and at Baltimore (9/28/03) respectively. He also had a 73-yard punt return at Houston (9/21/03) and added a 93 yarder vs. Denver (10/5/03).
