Devin Devorris Hester Sr. is an American former football wide receiver and return specialist who played in the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft.
He played college football for the Miami Hurricanes, where he was the first player in the university's recent history to play in all three phases of American football: offense, defense and special teams. In addition to Chicago, Hester also played for the Atlanta Falcons, the Baltimore Ravens and the Seattle Seahawks over his 11-season NFL career. He is also the first and only player to return the opening kick of a Super Bowl for a touchdown, accomplishing that in Super Bowl XLI. He is regarded as one of the greatest return specialists in NFL history.
Originally drafted as a cornerback, Hester quickly made an impact as a kick returner, and later became a wide receiver. He holds the NFL record for most all-time return touchdowns—punt and kickoff combined—and most all-time punt return touchdowns.
