@@superbeanz6947guys like Harvin wanted to be Hester. His receiver play isn’t even worth mentioning. Coaches never had to game plan another return guy the way they did Hester. He changed the game.
Greatest special team returner in history. Changed the game by how dominate he was. Lucky to be alive to actually see his returns, speech made me tear up.
When Devin Hester had the ball in his hands, he was dangerous and electrifying. You felt like he was going to score every time. Congratulations, Devin, on being enshrined into the HOF. #23
@@sugarhillkeith this has nothing whatsoever to do with Gates. Hester is the all leading kick/punt returner who changed the game, I don’t know how u can say he doesn’t belong in HOF
HESTER was apart of the last Bear era in recent history that made it fun to be a Bears fan. Hopefully with Caleb we can get back to those good times. Congrats Devin!
One of the greatest kicker returners and punt returners in NFL history it was a joy watching on tv Devin Hester you deserve to be in the pro football hall of Fame
Can't forget when he ran back a TD in the Superbowl against my colts all they said all week was don't kick to Devin Hester an we did to send a message.
We Bears faithful are so proud of you Devin. Whether it’s by the Windy City flyer, The U, or by just “you are ridiculous “ Your name will always be remembered as one of the greats as not only a Chicago Bear, but as an NFL player. You did us more than proud and thank you for everything from a loyal Bears fan. Bear down.
@@joshuaporter4078 That's not what he said bro! His comment was that he played all three positions during his career in which he did. First, he came into the league playing corner on defense and a returner on Special Teams. However, he was so electric with a ball in his hands that Lovie Smith made the decision to put him at receiver so as to maximize the Bears opportunity to score points along with continuing his run as a returner.
Im honestly glad he mentioned Brian Mitchell and Joshua Cribbs. Because they also changed the game. Not just him. Hester is the best punter renter and helps kickoff team for sure. Joshua Cribbs held a record before it got tied with Leon Washington. With most kickoff return TD in career or season.
Having been a Colts fan at the time (now Bears), I was only 6 years old, but that Super Bowl kick return is forever one of the most iconic moments I've ever witnessed in sports
Devin Hester you are RIDICULOUS! What a good time to be a Bears fan SMH, I would be late to work on purpose or called off plenty of Sundays just watch him play. Absolutely WELL DESERVED
Such a classy man, role model, and player. Every Bears game I watched, I looked forward to Devin stepping on the field. There's no one like him. One of the greatest ever. Thanks for coming to Chicago. We love you. God bless to you and your family.
I got into Football after the Bears went to Super Bowl XLI, to make a long story short, Devin made that opening kickoff for a touchdown look easy! That’s one of my favorite football memories and I’m happy he’s in the Hall of Fame!
Your favorite player's, favorite player. Windy City Flyer gets his golden jacket. Absolute GOAT. Glad to see you rockin gold big DAWG. You made my childhood so exciting, everytime you saw Hester return a punt or a kickoff there was a massive chance you were about to be jumping around and screaming your head off. Thank you Devin for making my childhood, BEAR DOWN
When dev says to his wife i love you baby his wife was saying that exactly same thing i started crying like I haven't cried in a while just knowing that type of loving wife im blessed and humble and happy but grateful for everything
WELL deserved, Gamechanger, Legend, Outstanding man - congratulations Devin Hester I'm happy to have been able to watch your career as I was going through highschool.
The greatest to ever do it as a return man, he should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer but it just makes me happy to know he’s got a Gold Jacket now
Have in tears what a blessing, Devin God, has more great things in store for you. You’re a HUMBLE MAN!! Being HUMBLE God, will use us in more ways that’s it remain HUMBLE in all our ways. Again Devin Hester keep going in your professional work. I am from West Palm Beach, Florida raised in Riviera Beach.
Class. This man has absolute class and high intelligence. He maybe looked at his notes once or none at all but took the time to recognize those who got him to where he is at.
Watching him return the ball was something you can't describe. It needs to be shown. Thank you for the years you gave to football! And still the only person with 100 speed in madden.
Nothing you ever did on the field compares to the man you are and the honor and respect for everyone in your life and the respect you have for them is world class
Never thought id be happy to see a return specialist enter the hall of fame. Theres no football player on earth more deserving of the honor than this man. Im a cowboys fan, but the entire league of fans loved watching this man return kicks and punts! What a legend!
Litterally what got me hooked on football. First year I started watching football with my dad. 7 years old. Will never forget that super bowl run. Great stuff
Well done Devin Hester!!! He is the only return specialist to make it to the Hall of Fame. He was one of the most electrifying players of his era. He was the only player to have 100 speed in a Madden game. He is a godly man as well as a family man. He is a Florida boy all day long. Thanks for making the NFL great again!!!🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
I'm glad Devin Hester got in the hall of fame he really deserved it
Did not deserve first ballot at all so many greater players than him waiting to get in

One of the most touching HOF speeches I've ever heard. Devin is the GOAT as a return man
This I think the best HOF speech that I’ve ever heard.
This was great but Shannon sharp speech makes you cut onions @@mikeporten8174
Greatest special team returner in history. Changed the game by how dominate he was. Lucky to be alive to actually see his returns, speech made me tear up.
Him,Dante Hall and Desean Jackson were the most dangerous returners to kick to in my era. But Hester was definitely the best..well deserved 👏🏽👏🏽
Percy harvin and Josh cribbs as well @@DCuse315
Same
I disagree. I think Deion was better
@@tjones617 that’s your opinion, but prime would say otherwise himself.

Any kicker that ever gave him a chance was putting their job on the line lol
Doesn’t deserve to be in the hof over gates
@@sugarhillkeithgates was a TE, u can’t compare the two
@@gregmatyas4272 I know I just meant like gates should’ve been there before Hester. Me personally I don’t think Hester should be in the hof.

You weren't a fan of trestman era or trubisky era? Lol 🤣
Yeah I wasn't either!
"Devin Hester you are ridiculous." Now "Devin Hester you are a legend." Congratulations man.
You forgot G.O.A.T sir
That Superbowl 41 Return was The Greatest Return i ever seen from him
Yeah, plenty of players have had electric returns for scores. But in the Super Bowl? Amazing.
“Opening” kick off return makes it that much greater 💯
That one sealed the deal. Too bad my Colts still Won!
I'm happy that the Bears fans in attendance showed Lovie Smith a lot of love
Changed the direction of the franchise by winning his last game as Texans head coach to give us the #1 draft pick a few years back
Devin Hester deserves this! Greatest returner of all time. HANDS DOWN 🔥
As a Packer fan, I loved watching Devon play. Always a threat. Congratulations.
Devin
Love Smith will be forever loved by Chicago
Another legend outta the Windy City that dawned the #23 and showed why he deserved to wear it. Thanks for the memories, Devin.
Naw this was a legendary HOF this SPEECH hits home I lost my pops at 10 rip but😢😭😭 fr he came from the struggle and now he’s here 🐐🗣️‼️DH is HIM
He was a feared man in the NFL when it comes to kick offs no one can catch him or touch him
One of the greatest kicker returners and punt returners in NFL history it was a joy watching on tv Devin Hester you deserve to be in the pro football hall of Fame
My man. The GREATEST at his position
My FAVORITE football player of ALL TIME!!! I think the Chicago Bears should retire the #23 in honor of Devin. I am so PROUD of Devin Hester!
He don’t no u
We’ve retired too many numbers we should just make it a ring of honor we’re gonna run out of numbers to use
They Should, will never get or see that again
I’m biased being a bear fan and have watched plenty of HOF speeches by bears but I think this is one of the BEST I’ve heard. Congratulations Devin!
Non bears fan here, the gratitude he showed throughout and the credit he gave peers was amazing
The best to ever do it
Can't forget when he ran back a TD in the Superbowl against my colts all they said all week was don't kick to Devin Hester an we did to send a message.
And he returned it to answer that message. 😂
@@michellenainkristinabusch1221loud and clear!
He will never be duplicated .. respect brother
The best ever! Congratulations Mr. Hester! We love you in Miami! 🎉🙌🏻
So glad they got the dreads on the bust lol. My favorite player growing up. Thank you Hester for all the memories and congratulations!
4:51 Lovie Smith getting his flowers and so much love from the fans is life-giving!
Best Kick Returner in the Hall of Fame 💪🏾 since Deion “Prime Time” Sanders congrats Devin Hester 💪🏾🔥🏈
He's better than Deion.
@@sdalt001 I wouldn’t say that

❤🔥🎉
We are proud of you down here in Miami The U
One of the best HOF speeches I've ever heard. Loved him on the field and now I know more about the man who so deserves to be in the hall.
It’s crazy how well spoken he is now opposed to when he was in his active career
Man played CB,WR & Returner
Um no he was listed at those but holds no record or pro bowls or all pro for any of them but special teams .
@@joshuaporter4078 Reread the comment you sped, guy never said any of what you said lmfao.
And RB

@@martinhouston3864 name 1 all pro season at anything other than special teams?? I will wait
He was my first jersey I had when I was 6 he was so cool
I'm glad he made it, he literally changed the game
Hester is and will always be the greatest punt returner ever, put me on the edge of my seat ,when he played my Giants, congrats to D.Hester
Proud of you kid came alongggggg way nothing and nobody could stop you from chasing your dream “DA GOAT “-Mike Osborne
Congratulations Devin Hester on your enshrinement into the NFL Hall of Fame! Without question the greatest returner in the history of the game! #GOAT

Crazy Cribbs’ career was cut short for something thats allowed now 🤦🏽♂️
Donte Hall should also be a part of that company. He was the 1st returner that I paid attention to.
Brian Mitchell….DEFINITELY! 2nd ALL time in all purpose yards behind Jerry Rice and Super Bowl champion in his 2nd season!
That's one of the reasons why I have so much respect for him. B-Mitch definitely should in the HOF one day!
