For the third time in as many years, Devin Hester will be among the 15 finalists debated for Pro Football Hall of Fame inclusion. The receiver/returner was named one of the finalists for the 2024 Hall class Wednesday night.
Hester, whose 20 return touchdowns are an NFL record that might never be broken, played for the Bears from 2006-13 and was an all-pro three times. His résumé — he’s generally considered the greatest returner of all time — wasn’t enough to push him into the Hall in either of the last two seasons.
