At this rate, it might take a few seasons — or more — but Detroit Lions return man Jamal Agnew is gunning for his coach's touchdown record.
Agnew said Wednesday that he and Lions assistant Leon Washington have a friendly, ongoing dialogue about their prowess as return men.
Washington, in his first season with the Lions, returned eight kicks for touchdowns in his nine-year career, tied for the most in NFL history.
Agnew has four career return touchdowns in three-plus seasons, three of them on punts, and has proven to be dangerous enough that teams have been reluctant to kick him the ball this fall.
