The argument for Devin Hester going to the Hall of Fame always falls to the question of GOAT: if he is the Greatest Of All Time, then he must surely belong in the Hall, right? Wrong. This is NFL tokenism. And it's got to stop.
Whenever people ask me if special teamers (specifically Devin Hester) belong in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I answer their question with the following scientific yes-no process.
Do special teamers hold roster spots?
Yes.
Do special teamers earn contracts?
Yes.
Does the Pro Bowl recognize special teamers?
