After months of waiting and debating, the day has finally arrived for Devin Hester. The former Chicago Bears return specialist will find out whether or not he’s headed to Canton as part of the 2022 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2022.
The class will be announced at 8 p.m. CT on ABC later this evening, with Hester and Bears fans everywhere hoping he receives the famous knock at the door.
Hester is a finalist for the Hall in his first year of eligibility. After being drafted in 2006 by the Bears, he quickly became the definition of a game changer in the return game. Hester took the league by storm, scoring 15 return touchdowns in his first two seasons, including the opening kickoff of Super Bowl XLI his rookie year.
