Buffalo Bills special teamer Steve Tasker deserves Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration

Buffalo Bills special teams ace Steve Tasker was the best to ever play the position. He won awards, went to a lot of Pro Bowls, and is always a heavily-discussed player around Hall of Fame time. He is dismissed as merely a special teams player, but his impact was great in the biggest games. They even changed a rule because Tasker was too good at what he did.

“What Bruce Smith and Cornelius Bennett mean to us on defense and what Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas mean to us on offense, Steve Tasker means to us on special teams,” said Bruce DeHaven, the Bills’ special-teams coach, in 1992 referring to three Hall of Famers and a should-be Hall of Famer.
