@@ajdaking507 No they are not hof worthy because the reason why they are on special teams is because they arent good enough to have a regular position on offense or defense. You cant reward mediocrity
one of the best interviews I've seen from Mr. Sharpe. Thank you for digging into one of the greatest players of all time. The trip back home for SAT scandal was touching.
Devin Hester is definitely the GOAT when it comes to returns. He should be enshrined in the Hall of Fame...On a side note that was BS that happened to him in college with coach. Coach was hating on a whole other level.
Yeah he had speed, agility, quickness, acceleration, but in order to be the ultimate kick returner you have to have great vision. Some guys only have a few of those traits but Devin Hester happen to have them all. That's god given right there
I kind of take it for granted after all these years but to return the opening kickoff of a Superbowl that's crazy man and he was a rookie! Devin Hester to me is the greatest kick returner of all time. He the only dude that when he got the ball you assumed he was going to return it for a TD! L E G E N D! ! !
This literally changed the game and rules because of this man ✊🏾 they literally moved the kickoff 10 yards up because they was so afraid of his abilities 💯
This man is the reason that kickoffs start from the 35 now. I remember teams would rather give the bears great field position with squib kicks than to kick it to Devin Hester. Goat returner and Bears legend. Just wished we would’ve won that SB in 06
Devin Hester in 06 & 07 was the NFL equivalent of how Pitchers treated Barry Bonds with Intentional Walks in 2004. I was at the chiefs game in 2007 and there were two punts where they kicked it out of bounds at the 50 yard line on purpose because they were so scared of Hester
He definitely had heart because Teams was really coming for him on them returns GOAT if you ask me. When he kicked off the super bowl with that return, I knew he was different
After Coach Tony Dungy explicitly said DO NOT KICK TO DEVIN!! 🤣🤣🤣. That was awesome. It’s. Shame that Rex Grossman was the Bears QB….Bears should’ve been SB Champs, but I’m glad Tony Dungy won it
Devin Hester this dude was a special had crazy speed and elusiveness, boy o boy don't you kick it to this man's cause if you do best believe he'll take it to the house
First time hearing him talk!!! This BROTHA keeping it REAL!!! I could hear him talk SPORTS with UNC all day!!! He was definitely a BADDD MAN back in the day!!! For me he's a HALL OF FAMER!!!👏🏽💪🏽🙌🏽🔥💯🏈😎
For the way he revolutionized the game in the position he played. It took the game to a more exciting level. Even if your team isn't good you still have to perfeorm. Imagine being a kid and you know your home town team sucks this year and your watching a home game at the stadium that's still something for a fan to see. On top of that his skills were amazing. If a kicker can be hall of fame so should he
Shay, you gotta give love and respect to Brian Mitchell. BMitch is 2nd all-time to the GOAT WR Jerry Rice in all-purpose yards and is ahead of quite a few HoFr's on that list. Might not be electrifying like Hester but was steady and consistent over time. "Nobody has ever fielded more returns than Mitchell (1,070), and nobody has ever compiled more return yards (19,013) than he. Only Hester has more career return touchdowns than Mitchell (13). While Hester was boom-or-bust on many of his returns, Mitchell always got yardage. He averaged at least 10 yards per punt return in nine seasons and led the NFL in 1994 with 14.1 yards per punt return. He played in 223 of 224 possible games. Nobody did it better." Mitchell - 4,999 Punt return Yards/9 TDs; 14.014 Kick return Yards/4 TDs - 13 seasons Hester - 3.695 Punt return Yards/14 TDs; 7,333 Kick return Yards/5 TDs - 8 Seasons 2nd to Jerry Rice in all purpose yards - 23.330 yards; Rice 23,546 yards (Hester 14,455 yards) Mitchell should've been in long ago based on the numbers and longevity. Hester too belongs in but not before Mitchell.
Dante Hall is my favorite player of all time he is the reason i fell in love with game. Im saying that to say i thought he would be the greatest returner ever until i met Hester lol. People forget he played WR and CB too he really lived the hood dream frfr
Devin Hester is most definitely the goat. Never have I seen a superbowl start with a kickoff return for a touchdown devin did that and man what an entertainer.
No Lie I am 27 and I remember when was at the University of Miami. Bro took a punt back and to this date Reggie Bush is the only player who ran as fast as him. We all know college Bush was pressure ! Hester is a legend for real man !
I'm a FSU fan... grew up in the 90s but the respect I have for players like Hurricane Hester, Clinton Portis and the late great Sean Taylor. Those are my 3 favorite 🌀
I’m from Indy I was so scared of him in. The super bowl I just remember Watchin the opening kick off and him returning and my uncle starts screaming and so I start screaming gettin mad he was scary growin up watchin him 💯
At this point I wish the NFL get rid of the limit on how many people they let into the hall. Either you're a hall of famer or you're not. He's definitely a hall of famer
@@Hotobu Based on who’s in the hall of fame, he certainly should get in. he is far and away the greatest to ever play the position. He specialized at position where the primary intent is to give your offense good field position, but he was able to single handled turn those in to points. His return records will never be broken because the game has changed overall to minimize kick returns. The rule change moving the kick-off line up to the 35 is solely because of the impact Devin Hester had on the game. By your logic, no special teams players should be in the hall of fame. Kickers can only make field goals when the offense puts them in position. Punters only job is to flip the field. Yet there is already 3 such players in the hall
@@MiamiU4 You were doing fine until the "by your logic" line and then trying to apply that to kickers. Kickers are put in position to kick by their team. It's a team sport, everyone relies on someone else. Devin Hester, however, relies on the OTHER team to be willing to kick to him. He was a big enough threat to be avoided, ok? What's that worth let's say 10 yards (he only had the highest average return yd per season twice, the most being ~ 17, so giving him 10 yards above average is *extremely* generous). Let's again be generous and say he's kicked to 5 times per game (his average is 2.5 btw), 5*10 = 50. So this "HOF" offensive threat is worth 50 yards per game and
@@Hotobu you're judging him as an offensive threat though which is honestly disingenuous. If a DB was so good they only threw near him about 2 times per game, and he averaged 2 pick sixes per season, 11000 yards in interception return yards. That would be a hall of famer. A PR has more in common with a DB than an offensive player which btw he's a DB that they tried to use on offense because his speed and to justify the money.
@@Hotobu Special teams is a part of the game and it can single handedly win or lose games. Any player who is the best ever at their position should be in the HoF regardless if it's special teams or not.
This man is a highlight but a highlight of greatest when he's on field I'm watching I know he's going show what made him who the man will go for greatest for everyone on the line I wish sports networks or ppl calling the game for teams Devin Hester name should always bring up
No disrespect to anyone else and I love prime time. But going back to Miami when he shook that Louisville punter with his head and bro fell I knew bro was the goat then
He was good, but THIS AIN'T ABOUT HIM! This is about Hester. This is his moment and the show is about HIM. Let him receive his Flowers! In REAL MUTHAFUCKIN LIFE 💯💪🏿
It's one of the most exciting and nervous times waiting for that ball to come down, especially exciting when you know you're faster than everyone else. I couldn't imagine what that's like at the top level
Definitely the GOAT of returning! Should be in HOF. He brought me so much excitement as a Bears fan when he played for em. Always remember lightin up a fat blunt when he ran that opening Super Bowl kick back, lol.
Do you think Devin Hester is the GOAT NFL kickoff and punt returner? sprtspod.fox/css
Yes
By far.
Unc you gotta get my guy Chris Johnson on here next..
Yeap, Cordalle Patterson is on his heals though.
Yes
I think it’s so crazy how much of an impact he made on special teams. So happy I grew up watching Devin Hester in action!
ME TOO SISTA!!!!!

Right in the slot

He is absolutely the GOAT returner. He is a first-ballot HOFer. You can't undermine special teams because it can make or break a team's season

Devin Hester showed me how to love football! The realest of them all!!

Didn’t someone have 101 one year?

Don't forget Prime time
Indy learned that quick
Devin Hester is the best returner I've ever seen.
Go look at Dante Hall highlights. While Hester ran more back his highlights are boring
It was a honor watching D.Hester growing up. He brought a special energy to my Bears that can not be replaced!!
With the rule changes, this is a record that will never be broken. Definitely a hall of famer.
I'm so glad unc had him on, this guy was amazing never seen that kind of speed in my era of football "Devin Hester you are ridiculous!"
Hester and Prime Time was electrifying
How does a player like this not be on a staff somewhere giving the expertise and knowledge to players....
🤔
It's something you can't teach. It's more of a superpower. Like a spidy sense. Plus his speed is hard to find.
depends on the kind of person they are

They barley even kicked him the ball and look at the stats he put up..! Certified HOF
Exactly!
Mel Gray came to my mind immediately but this is a good point about how often they kicked away from him and he's no. 8 all time
right like people forget there were gaps of entire years wbere teams just wouldnt or barely let this dude touch the ball lol.
He definitely had heart because Teams was really coming for him on them returns GOAT if you ask me. When he kicked off the super bowl with that return, I knew he was different
Yup that solidified him . Se all knew & he still did it . I was hyped af 😭
Sooo many Hester highlights are about to be in our recommendations 😂
Yup lol
Ima watch em tho 🤣
You know he’s the GOAT returner dude took the opening kickoff in the Super Bowl for a TD , only time in history
And in that very Super Bowl, when they did kick it to him again, he took that one back for a touchdown too!
