Steve Tasker is the only gunner whose name I remember. It helps that he played for the 90's Buffalo teams that filled my childhood with joy, then disappointment. Sore subject.
Tasker also blocked several punts (including once in a Super Bowl), but the best kick blocker in NFL history is Ted Hendricks. So says this very interesting web article:
The article also mentions Ivory Sully as a great all-around special teamer. I never watched him play, but he sounds like perhaps an even greater all-around special teamer than Tasker.
(What got me on to this article was that I was trying to remember this big O-lineman that the Raiders would put in on kick blocks. I found his name in the honorable mentions—6′8″ 360 lbs Langston Walker.)
Returner: For my money, Devin Hester is the best kick returner ever. I can think of 20 guys who were dangerous for a year or two (Josh Cribbs, Daunte Hall) but who seemed to flame out quickly. Even late in his career, teams would spot his team field position in order to avoid kicking directly to him and risk a Hester return.
(Shout out to honorable mentions Brian Mitchell and Desmond Howard.)
Punter: My dad says it's Ray Guy, so let's say Ray Guy.
Place kicker: George Blanda is before my time (so was Guy), but let's give an honorable mention to the old-timer. However if you're kicking a field goal to decide the game, how can you not select Adam Vinatieri from amongst the NFL's many great kickers? As a hater of both the Patriots and the Colts, my blood ran cold when he went out to kick a game winner. When it really counted, he was money.
Long snapper: Steve DeOssie. Why? Bill Bellichick will explains it to ya. (This may be Bill's longest-ever answer to a question from the press.)
Okay, I was already out of my depth on long snappers, but are there any guys who we can say were great just for their return blocking? Someone should ask Bill Bellichick, but in the meantime, I'll attach a gif of John Conner. His career was exremely unremarkable, but he blew some dudes up on kick returns.
Yes, yes you say, but can't you show us some lumbering oaf who somehow magically turned into the second coming of Gale Sayers? Dear reader, I submit this clip:
That's Dan Connolly fielding a pooch kick and almost outrunning the Packers kick coverage. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when the Packers special teams coach had to review this film.
