CANTON, Ohio — From the time he was a little kid, Devin Hester was annoyed by being labeled simply “athlete,” rather than getting the chance to specialize in one position. That followed him to the University of Miami and eventually the Bears, and finally he grew so tired of it that he set his mind on becoming the greatest return man of all time.

He certainly accomplished that, and the football world will validate it for him Saturday when he will be the first return specialist ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
