that's a good one ... I don't think there is a complete list of kick sixes out there. NFL Record Book doesn't have much

I'm going to imagine that the 2005 or 2006 Chicago Bears are one of them...

I corrected my OP. Should have emphasized it's a player and that I found only 1 player ...so far

But yes Hester of the '06 Bears returned a KO, Punt, and FG for TDs
There is another

its hard to find the kick six stats. I am just going through players that I remembered having returned a FG for a TD at some point. One oddity is Al Nelson, who returned two FGs for TDs. But I haven't found anyone else who meets the criteria other than Hester at this point.

Carl Taseff also returned 2 FGs for TDs. Wonder if anybody ever returned 3 in their career?

Kick sixes are about as rare a play as you'll see, but evidently not when the Bears are playing the Giants.

In 2005, Nathan Vasher returned a missed FG 108 yds against NYG.

In 2006, Devin Hester duplicated the feat---same opponent, same distance. Different kicker, though.
