Hester announced Tuesday that he has retired from professional football.
Hester walks away from the NFL as arguably the greatest return specialist ever to take the field, as the 35-year-old registered 14 career punt returns for touchdowns and five touchdowns on kick returns. A four-time Pro Bowler, Hester spent the majority of his career with the Bears, most memorably returning the opening kickoff in Super Bowl 41 for a touchdown in Chicago's loss to Indianapolis. Hester finished out his career with brief stops with the Falcons, Ravens and Seahawks.
