[@jordanadkins4362]

He was such an awesome player to have on the Bears. He singlehandedly shortened punters/kickers distance by like 10-20 yds. When they actually kicked to him you'd hold your breath because there was always that potential he'd take it to the house. Fun man to watch.

[@allangoldin8087]

A real game Changer! Should go into H.O.F

[@lonniecraig5186]

The problem is that the Bears have retired so many numbers that I believe they said they will not retire any more. So unless something changes massively, 23 won't be retired. Nor will 54.

[@toddwruble4461]

I think instead of retiring it you only give the number 23 to special players.nit scrubs

[@NeonDeion109]

You don't see other returners breaking tackles like him...

[@Sahadi420]

Or using his blockers so effectively. He knows when to go 100% full speed and bust it.........and when to hold back, and allow his blockers to do their thing. Perfect example is 1:05. So hilarious to see the ball carrier run right past a convoy of blockers, only to get tackled by one dude.

SparkleGirl - the NFL competition committee moved the kickoff measurement closer.. Resulting in way more touch backs. They said it was for player safety, but many admitted, including Bellichick, it was because of Hester, Josh Cribbs, and others breaking game plans.

[@tommythomason6187]

I'll never forget how he gulled the Giants into thinking he wasn't going to run that kick back from the end zone (seen here). That was priceless! One of his tricks was to wait until opponents, still running towards him full-tilt boogie, got close enough, and he'd suddenly turn on the jets, run straight upfield - and zoom right by them. With that kind of deception - and that kind of speed, no way they were going to catch him.

[@jftorrez]

The thing is the special teams blockers were incredible for him... but there are returns in there where he does it himself by making tacklers miss.. we'll never see this combination of talented returner and talented blockers again!!! So great!!!

[@hassanorr9078]

The best thing about this video, and his excellent returns, is tthat more than half of them he returned in the Bears field in front of his fans. It's always fun to watch him return it on tv. However to do it at Soldiers Field in front of the Bears faithful fans....Dynomite

This guy scared the ever-loving shit out of me as a Colts fan at the beginning of Super Bowl 41. It says something about the fear Hester gave them because after that all of our kickoffs were squib kicks pretty much.

[@DaDitka]

I remember thinking that the Colts would not kick another one to him after that one, and I was right. Too bad the Bears lost (at least for me), but if they were going to lose, at least they lost to the Colts and not the Patriots.

[@palmtreezee890]

He just did an interview on I am Athlete. He literally said they told him in the Super Bowl he better take the fist kick to the crib because if he goes 20/30 yards the colts are never kicking it to him again regardless. And that’s exactly what he did.

[@aiwithbri]

Yeah, they had predicted more rain that day, and I was hoping for it. Still a bit of a sloppy field for your dome team. Then he took the opener to the house and I thought, it's gonna be their night. Maybe if had just rained like it was supposed to. I know, I'm grasping at straws.

[@ancil57]

Among other things, Hester's success was predicated upon that little pause after receiving the kick when he surveyed the field and instantaneously developed a plan to attack it. Just as Ray Guy is a Hall of Famer as the best punter ever, Devin Hester should be in the Hall of Fame as the best kick returner ever.

[@salamanca1954]

He had a number of talents at work at once. 1) An incredible burst from zero to full speed. 2) Field vision that instantly diagnoses the blocking pattern and the possible lanes. 3) Intuitive feel for angles and momentum. He continually uses tacklers' momentum against them to simply blow right by because they don't have time to change the direction they are moving in. You never run away from momentum if you can cut againgst it. 4) Ability to break tackles.

Good times. There was NO BETTER Return man than Devin Hester. The way he was able to get away from mass opponents it was almost like he was intangible, and once he got free, you knew you would never catch him. It was always a joy to watch him play, because "DEVIN HESTER, YOU ARE RIDICULOUS!"

Beginning at 10:10 : I don't know if it's the video quality, or if the video speed was turned up a bit, or if he's really running that fast, but the way the scenes (sidelines) change so quickly almost reminds me of being in a car. I can see why he was the first (only?) player to be given 100 speed in Madden.

[@jakegodby3942]

Sometimes I think to myself that Devin Hester didn't anticipate the way a special teams unit would run down a field he anticipated and read how they would run towards him and try to guess his movements and then he would completely read the defense and know how to run to get the touchdown every single time he was a brilliant player and one a kind I've been a bears fan for 25 years and he has and always will be my favorite player to watch
