Devin Hester

September 17th, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

Devin Hester is most likely the most exciting offensive player I have ever seen in a Chicago Bears uniform. While Walter Payton will be the best and most complete player, Hester has that ability to add a dimension to the game that nobody has ever seen before. Consider today in the Bears win against the Kansas City Chiefs, Devin Hester was personally responsible for 10 points and could have had more if the kick return that he returned for a touchdown was taken away from him due to a holding penalty on the Bears.

What I have noticed with Hester is, #1 his patience. Since the beginning of last year, Hester is not trying to do too much for force the issue. Some might look at his lack of touches against the Chargers or his unwillingness to return punts but to be honest, part of the issue with returning punts is knowing when to return and when to let go. The Chiefs on the other hand were kicking far and long to him which gave him the opportunity to return kicks. His decision-making skills is where he supercedes other returners. He has great vision and can predict where the holes are going to be. On top of that he has amazing quickness and great acceleration. There are points where you think that the opponent might get him but he will just blow right by them.

I have never seen anything like it.
