I watched five on that video, and that was enough for me.
As a returner, yes. A Hall of Famer. I looked at his records, and he is no slouch because he has nearly every kick return/punt return record for the Bears, not a shabby feat when you consider Gayle Sayers probably held them all before him. (granted, Hester has played far longer and healthier, but...he does hold the record for kickoff and punt return average for the Bears, but...the Sixties and Seventies was a different kind of football)
I am a Pat’s fan, and I can tell you we sure hate seeing him back there, he is that good. Most returners are containable and you get the feeling most of the time that if your team does its job, they will not except in unusual circumstances let the guy get by, but this guy has it in spades.
His instinct for seeing the pathway and going single-mindedly for it once he sees it is phenomenal. And he had great balance. Runs with great strength.
I have been watching football avidly since Nov. 14, 1971 right after my family moved back to the states. I had never watched a football game even though we played a lot of neighborhood tackle and recess flag.
I was in Washington DC, and was watching a Sunday afternoon/night game on a little black and white television, and saw Dick Butkus score a touchdown on a bungled extra point attempt by the Bears. Oddly enough, I became a Redskins fan for many years..:)
Point was, I have watched a lot of kick returns, and while there are a number of players who have intermittently made some pretty electric returns, this guy seems to do it consistently. I think he is a real weapon for a team.
