What I think everyone is missing is that even without the move to receiver, Hester’s time was [...]
Looks like we could finally see Devin Hester returning some punts, and that could start Sunday night vs the Broncos:

When I set the slate for my weekly predictions, I thought about delaying Quarterback and Wide Receiver. The task is daunting for numerous reasons.

Devin Hester’s new Under Armour commercial, called “Mission”, debuted during the ESPYs Sunday night. The 60 second spot shows “a day in the life” with him relating to his fans and the city of Chicago, which they track in first person through his tweets.

Worried about Devin Hester not returning punts anymore? Don’t be. Coach Lovie Smith spoke out on the subject today, and said that he still plans on having the playmaker awaiting punts come the 2009 season. “Devin has the chance to score every time.
