New Kickoff Rules May Not Impact Hester

When veteran return specialist Devin Hester is healthy, there’s no question about the impact he can make on the football field.

Unfortunately for the Falcons, he injured his toe during preseason and missed majority of the 2015 season and was only able to play in five games, where he returned nine kickoffs for 235 yards and eight punts for 34 yards.

Coach Quinn knows the type of player Hester can be when at full strength, which is why he is why wants the Pro Bowl returner to be healthy before he returns to the field.
