Former Bears star Devin Hester will learn later this week if he has made the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
Hester, 39, retired in 2017 as the most decorated return specialist in NFL history. He holds NFL records with 20 special teams return touchdowns, 14 punt return touchdowns and most punt return touchdowns in a season, with four.
In a story published Tuesday by Sports Illustrated's Mitch Goldich, Hester was adamant he should make the Hall of Fame this year.
“Most definitely,” he said when asked if he was the best returned ever.
