The all-purpose veteran has recorded 11,227 yards on kickoff and punt returns, leading all active players and standing seventh in NFL history.

Stairs played for the Phillies in 2008 and 2009 and helped the Phillies to the 2008 World Series title. The journeyman played for 12 teams from 1992 to 2011.
