Cleveland Browns legend Josh Cribbs says return men are being straight-up disrespected by the Hall of Fame selection committee ... telling TMZ Sports he and Devin Hester both deserve busts in Canton.
Cribbs and Hester were two of the most exciting players of their era ... with kickers and punters purposely avoiding them out of fear they'd take it to the house every time they got the ball.
Despite racking up All-Pro, Pro Bowl and All-Decade team honors during their careers, both guys are still MIA at the Hall .
