Featured Athlete(s): DEVIN HESTER Collection: PROFESSIONALLY FRAMED & MATTED 11x14 PHOTO Frame Size: 20 x 22 Hand Autographed: IN PERMANENT SILVER PAINT! Features: EXCLUSIVE STAT PLATE & THE OFFICIAL HOLOGRAM OF SUPER BOWL XLI Devin Hester "The Windy City Flyer" Super Bowl XLI Record 1st Ever Opening Kick Return TD 92 Yards on February 4, 2007 DEVIN HESTER Devin Hester is an American football cornerback and return specialist for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. He currently holds the all-time NFL record for the most return touchdowns in a single season. The Chicago Bears drafted Hester in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Although he was drafted as a cornerback, the Bears use him as a return specialist to fill the void left by former Bears return specialists Jerry Azumah and Bobby Wade. Hester made an impact during his first professional game. While leading the Green Bay Packers 19-0, Hester returned an 84-yard punt for a touchdown. After the game, he received a call from his idol, Deion Sanders, who complimented Hester on his performance. Also, the FOX Sports'' announcers covering the game, Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan, nicknamed Hester "The Windy City Flyer" after Hester scored the touchdown. During a week four match up against the Seattle Seahawks, John Madden called Hester a gambler, and criticized him for the unnecessary risks he takes when returning "dangerous" punts. On top of that, Madden claimed he would not trust Hester in close game situations if he were the Bears' head coach. Two weeks later, while trailing the Arizona Cardinals by six points with less than two minutes remaining, Hester returned a punt 83 yards for the game-winning touchdown. A week after the team's poor performance against the Miami Dolphins, , Hester rebounded with a record-tying performance while playing the New York Giants. Trailing 24-20 early in the fourth quarter, the Giants brought out kicker Jay Feely to attempt a 52-yard field goal. The attempt fell short and was caught by Hester. Hester intentionally hesitated to trick his pursuers into thinking he was going to down the ball for a touchback, and then scrambled out of the end zone. After picking up a convoy of blockers from his fellow teammates, Hester returned the kick for a 108-yard touchdown. Hester's play tied teammate Nathan Vasher's NFL record, which was set during a similar situation in2005, almost exactly a year (364 days) earlier. Hester also returned a punt for a 45-yard touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings. Hester's return tied the record for the most punt return touchdowns scored during a rookie year. Hester's accomplishment earned recognition as the NFC's special teams player of the week award. Hester was awarded the kickoff returner spot on the depth chart the week of the Monday Night Football game against the St. Louis Rams on December 11, 2006, and returned a kick 94 yards for a touchdown in just his second return of the night, tying the NFL single season record for returns for a touchdown at five, set by Ken Houston in 1975. Later in the game, Hester returned another kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, breaking the NFL record. This second touchdown return also made Hester the sixth man in NFL history to score a touchdown on two separate kickoff returns in the same game. Hester had now returned three punts, two kickoffs, and one missed field goal attempt for touchdowns in the 2006 season.
