Devin Hester Relives RIDICULOUS Rookie Season! | Throwback Originals 

Don’t bother sending Devin Hester a birthday gift, he’ll just return it

I remember he was the first person on madden with 100 speed

Everybody in that stadium was expecting Hester to take that return for a TD in the Super Bowl and he DID!!! This dude is a legend

Kicker: Hester back there? Coach: Yep. Kicker: Out of bounds? Coach: *Yep.*

IMO he’s a hall of famer. Probably won’t be first ballot, but I am confident he’ll make it eventually

You never ask a woman if she's pregnant You never go for 1/2 price sushi You never kick to Devin Hester !!!!!!!

Perfect outro. “Devin Hester you are ridiculous.” The Super Bowl kickoff return will always be legendary.

He is revered in Chicago. I got his autograph at the Bears training camp on a towel his rookie year and spoke with him briefly and he was soft spoken and really a good dude. I remember a bunch of people yelling his name and calling him "Sir" and he was laughing because he had this " I'm just a rookie and a nobody" attitude and was just taking in all the fans excitement, but little did we all know we were talking to the guy who would become the greatest return man ever in the NFL.

Prime time his self said Hester is the greatest return man of all time

That opening kickoff in the Superbowl is the most exciting play I've ever seen.

He said “if they wanna line him up on me i i i i must abuse him “😂

Holy shit. This was AMAZING! I don't follow the NFL much but I do love the sport. This man is no doubt a LEGEND!

Devin Hester is, was, and always will be...RIDICULOUS!!

Opposing team fans: "Don't kick it to Hester! Don't kick it to Hester! Don't kick it to- awww, man... he kicked it to Hester."

Possibly the most remarkable rookie year in NFL history.

One of theee most smoothest runners I've ever seen in the NFL

I hope he makes the hall of fame. He totally deserves it. Respect from a Packers fan

..Detroit Lions once said we rather kick the ball into Lake Michigan then kick it to hester..Hall of fame for sure.. .

Been a lifelong Colts fans and I vividly remember the sense of impending doom that crept in after he scored that opening kickoff touchdown. Great game with an excellent halftime show and I'll never forget it. Congrats to Devin on a fantastic career.

There’s no way that 06 Bears team makes it to the Super Bowl without Devin Hester

11 dislikes are from the 06 Colts kickoff unit

When Deion Sanders calls you the greatest returner of all tiime .. You ARE the greatest returner of all time. No disrespect to Brian Mitchell.

this dude deserves to be in the HOF. what a talent. rare in any era

Got chills watching this. I can remember exactly where I was when he returned that. The Lovie Bears represent my childhood. This 06 team brings back so many good memories.

People don’t understand how good this man actually was. He was unbelievable

Devin goes “when I catch the ball I pause and look where to go, that’s my secret. Should probly be telling my kids that’s and not y’all.” Lmaoooo great secret bro

What a spectacle he was. No one really talks about the great exit he had from the game, when he was with the Seahaks. Way past his prime, he did all he could to keep the Seahawks in the game against the Falcons. He took out kicks from the back of the endzone. What a performance.

Devin Hester at wide receiver in Madden used to be unstoppable!

They literally changed the rules because of this man. Mans retired and said “Tell Roger Goddell he can move the kick off back again” haha that’s legendary shit, man.

I feel bad for any punter that had to take him one on one while he was at full speed... must’ve been a nightmare

Best return man ever! Every time he touched the ball there was anticipation in the air that something special might happen. Seems like such a great guy too.

Nobody : Devin Hester : Ima just be the greatest kick returner ever 🤷🏽‍♂️ 🔥

i did one of his football camps and he choose me out of my group to play catch with him it was the best moment in my life

He had the absolute best field vision for his position. Unparalleled.

I’m thinking about playing ball again at a local junior college and I’m saving this video for what he said about when he pauses as soon as he catches the ball to see where he’s going and give his blockers time to catch up. This guy is THE guy to study if you’re looking to improve your return skills. Greatest return man in football history.

Devin Hester was the greatest his speed and the way he made others miss

Devin Hester belongs in the Hall of Fame. He's revolutionized player evaluation, and Special Teams as a whole. When your talents and contributions are transformative, you're a Hall of Famer. The man darn near returned his last handful of kicks late in his career. He singlehandedly won games for Chicago.

Devin Hester is absolutely a Hall of Famer. When you're the GOAT at anything you do in a sport, that makes you a Hall of Famer. He's hands down the best returner in NFL history. And was a solid receiver when given the chance. Steve Tasker should be in as well.

“I dint why I’m telling you guys this, I’m posed to be telling my kids this” lmao baby hesters

I’ll definitely never forget watching Devin Hester play.

The Hester hype in Chicago was unreal at the time. Dude shoulda ran for mayor.

It was a pleasure to have seen Devin Hester play. It was a crime when the Bears took him off the return team and were so thin at WR that he had to be their #1.

I was born and raised in chicago i love the bears and devin hester what you brought to the bears is pure magic you will always have a special place in my heart.

Amazing! He was hardly ever touched on every one of those returns! What speed he had. Without a doubt the best returner ever, and with the new kickoff rules, nobody will ever touch his records. Living in a suburb of Chicago, I'm happy to say I saw every one of those returns live as they happened!

He’s got a dope vibe

The GREATEST Return man of all-time!!!

Watching Devin return kicks at the Orange Bowl was legandary. Was always the fastest guy on the field.

I had just sat down at Buffalo Wild Wings for that Super Bowl, looked up at the screens, and saw Hester sprinting across the 50-yard line. I was like, "Welp..."

Best returner of all time. I couldve easily watched an hour on this guys career. What a special player.

His return ability makes him one of the best ever to play the game.

I will never forget the absolute RAGE I felt as a Colts fan watching him return that kick after what we (as fans) had been through in the AFC championship 😂😂😂

He’s the most level, headed mature player to ever come out of that program.

If punters and kickers can get into the Hall of Fame (not saying they don't deserve it), then the guy with the most kick returns in NFL history should be able to get in. It will probably take a long time, but I think he's earned the honor.

This man is single-handedly the reason I became and forever will be a Bears fan! 🐻

I remember him playing and making a huge impact that year, but until this video I didn’t realize what a *smart* player he was !

Devin Hester gives me goosebumps, he had some good blockers too so he can run thru the way he needed to! He will always be a legend!

Top 5 Most Exciting players of all time. Everytime he was on the field something was gonna happen.

The fact that it got to the point where teams were willing to give the bears better field position by kicking out of bounds, just to keep it away from Hester shows how special and dangerous of a player he was. I miss watching this guy on Sundays!

I know you'll never read this but sincerely, thank you for all the great memories. That Bears team was really mediocre, but we had a handful of great players who made it worth it to watch every game just to see what they'd do. You were obviously at the top of that group.

Mr. Devin Hester, Chicago will forever Love & Respect you for what you gave us = GREATNESS👈🏼. Bonus Note >That SuperBowl kickoff return was one of the greatest feelings i & (im sure if not all, most/99% of Bears Fans) ever have had. Just Pure Magic/Greatness. From True Blue Bears fans

I'm getting Goosebumps while watching this.

With today's rules, its officially impossible to break his records. He deserves to be in the HOF as the greatest return man of all time

Baddest man in Chicago at that time. Completely changed the game.

Put this man in the hall of fame

BEST KICK/PUNT RETURNER IN NFL HISTORY

Devin Hester’s Aunt was the counselor in my Middle School

This video made me smile. He's so humble and seems like a generally good guy. I'm blessed to see a player like him play.

As a lions fan, with all the talent the bears had on both sides of the ball in that era, Hester by far scared me the most every time the lions played the bears! I have nothing but love and respect for that guy man! He truly is the greatest return specialist of all time

David Hester...The only player I know that had a 100 Speed in Madden

Brings back so many memories. Hester to this day was the most exciting player to watch in NFL history

Man I still get chills watching Devin Hester

Seeing him as a kid was amazing! Such a pleasure to see greatness in Chicago!

watching him as a rookie and then Tebow's crazy 4th quarters that one season are the most fun I had watching football. He looked like a freaking gazelle out there.

Growing up and seeing Brian Mitchell, Allen Rossem, Dante Hall and Devin Hester do kick off returns was unforgettable. Definitely memories that will stay with me as a sports fan Also cant forget D Jack and the Miracle In the Meadowlands. That was my first ever game I went to! 🔥🔥

I just wanna shed a tear right now for all the people who didn’t witness this young in his prime… I swear it seemed like everytime he touched the ball it was a touchdown 😭

I remember seeing him and all his crazy highlights from that season, I didn't realize it was all his rookie season. What an exciting player!

*he makes it look so easyyyyyy, like anybody could do it* Jump cut, jump cut, and gone

Wish he got a ring

Easily the best return man of all time. Not even close

He’s the best kick returner ever, he deserves to be in the hall of fame. No one has ever been like him

The best receiver, running back, quarterback, and return man all used to be in the same division. Crazy to think about. Great memories

First ballot hall of famer!

I revisit this video all the time. Every time this video shows up in my recommended videos, I watch it. I smile the while way thru. Every body wanted him to break records. Even the referees. They didnt call any holding penalties anytime he got the ball on a kickoff. They were witnesses of greatness. They let it happen.

I can watch this everyday! Twice a day! My goodness the speed! Put him in the hall of fame!

And then Rex Grossman fumbled snaps to give superbowl away.

Devin Hester was one of the first super athletes of this new generation. Silly amazing.

Crazy story. I Drove 13 hrs to Mia for super bowl weekend. Sat night I got completely trashed on South beach at a club that hosted a huge super bowl party and ended up spending super bowl Sunday with the worst hangover ever. I passed out before the game and the only thing that woke me up was the roar of the crowd during Devin’s kickoff return. I jumped out the bed screaming hangover instantly gone. Honestly if that kickoff would’ve been a touchback, it’s highly likely that I would’ve missed the entire game and even though we lost, I still would’ve been devastated. Big time thx to Devin for being the illest to ever do it. Definitely should be in the HOF!!!

I seen his rookie season Live so in my opinion, he goes in Hall of famer first time he eligible. This shyt was amazing #BearDown

Boi my mother used to get so hyped when he'd take off. Have to sit her self down like she just ran them 100+yards.

The NFL has done everything they can to eliminate kickoffs forever. Way to go No Fun League.

I like this dude man!! Super fly and humble at the same time.

Man he was fun to watch.

Legendary number in Chicago sports most exciting player to ever step on the field thanks for all the memories

I was a senior in high school in Chicago, this guy had the city buzzin

Ty Mr Heater. Wish I could watch you and Dieon for all time. Ty for the memories.

This was a great interview. It makes you feel as though everything is possible.

I still think Lovie Smith should have kept him at DB .. much love from the south side of Chicago 🐐

Devin Hester I freaking love you! There will never be a player like you 💯✊🏽✊🏽

This brings back some really great memories. This was the first year I got into watching football, into watching the Bears, and to have this surprise thrown at me, enjoying the games on the rec center TV with my friends - what a great time to be alive it was.

As a lifelong bears fan this brings tears to my eyes Hester made me love football
