Former Clemson wide receiver Adam Humphries is the talk of the football world Saturday after he returned a missed Detroit field goal 109 yards for a touchdown for his Tampa Bay Buccaneers Friday night in a preseason NFL game.
Statistically, it is the longest possible return for a touchdown in all of American Football history.
Twitter was blowing up about Humphries’ return afterwards. Here is what was said about the former Tiger on Twitter.

Adam Humphries' return of a missed field goal at the end of the half goes 109 yards for a touchdown. Preseason records are spotty, but the longest touchdown of any kind in the regular season in franchise history is Shelton Quarles' 98-yard INT return against the Packers.

Adam Humphries' 109 yd FG return for TD is statistically the longest possible play in the NFL.
It's been done twice in the regular season: Cordarrelle Patterson (KO return) on Oct. 27, 2013 and Antonio Cromartie (FG return) on Nov. 4, 2007.
