Click to View/Hide Player Info
Devin Hester is a wide receiver and return specialist for the Chicago Bears.
He is an alumnus of the University of Miami, where he became the first person in the university's recent
history to play on all three teams of American football (offense, defense, special teams).
Hester began his professional career with the Bears in 2006, and quickly made an impact as a kick returner.
Dubbed the "Windy City Flyer" and "Anytime", Hester holds the league's all-time record for most kicks
returned for a touchdown in a season.
Hester began his professional career in the NFL with the Chicago Bears, who selected him in the second
round of the 2006 NFL Draft.
The team originally drafted Hester as a cornerback, but they intended to play him as a return specialist,
following the retirement of Jerry Azumah, and departure of Bobby Wade.
In his first thirteen weeks as a professional football player, Hester recorded six return touchdowns,
including a punt return in his NFL debut, and a then-record tying 108-yard touchdown from a missed
field goal against the New York Giants.
He also returned a punt for a clutch 83-yard game-winning touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals,
and two kickoff returns in one game against the St. Louis Rams.
