INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Devin Hester is one of the Bears’ most exciting players in their century of existence and already has secured his spot as one of the franchise’s all-time greats.
He doesn’t need the validation of making the Hall of Fame, but it’s a safe bet that he’ll get it eventually, despite being left out when the 2022 class was announced Thursday. Hester would’ve been the first to make it primarily as a returner and had hoped for the ultimate validation of getting in on the first ballot.
