Former Bears kick returner Devin Hester is one of 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It’s the second consecutive year Hester has been a finalist.

Hester, a Bears second-round draft pick in 2006, is the most prolific kick returner in NFL history, with 20 career kick-return touchdowns — 14 on punt returns and six on kickoff returns. His 92-yard kickoff return to start Super Bowl XLI is still the only touchdown return on the opening kickoff in Super Bowl history. Hester also returned a field goal 108 yards for a touchdown against the Giants in 2006.
