Kick returner Devin Hester announces his retirement

[dem bath salts]

I was at the orange bowl when he returned a kickoff for a td in his first ever collegiate touch GOAT

 

[Geek Nasty]

Kind of sad when guys like this never figure out the NFL WR role, like Desmond Howard. Shortens your career when you have to rely on speed.

Got a gold jacket waiting on him

 

[PortCityProphet]

Never seen anyone like him. He's for real a 1 of 1. No other player carried an offense by being a threat to take it back and when he did touch it it was 6.
If you saw Hester in his prime it's like seeing Wilt or Jesse Owens cause we'll never ever see another guy like him in our lifetimes.

 

[L. Deezy]

Probably the quietest "U" star ever. I swear on everything, I have never seen him talk/interviewed. I just thought of that just now.

Ive followed his whole career

 

[Ace Money]

Duke definitely put on for my city/county. Proud of him for sure.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

to Hester. Was always must see TV when it was kickoff.

I hung out with him and some mutual friends back in 2008. Dude was mad cool.

 

[Lefty Gunz]

His 06 and 07 season were magical. So many memories as a Bears fan

100 Speed

 

[Rigby.]

Thought he'd eventually become a complete receiver like Ted Ginn.

I knew he was different when he ran this reverse in Miami. You know how on most reverses you sort of take an oval turn to get to the corner? This dude didn’t.....he took a straight diagonal path to the end zone....just outran everyone. he was so fast that he didn’t need to belly out on the turn.

 

[Pineal Gland]

As a Canes/Skins fan, I don't know how to feel about this:jwall:

That's my GOAT returner

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Kind of sad when guys like this never figure out the NFL WR role, like Desmond Howard. Shortens your career when you have to rely on speed.

You're acting like he flamed out at 27...he got the most out of his years

The GOAT returner

Deserve to be in the HOF
