Falcons release Hester (Hester happy to get away from Meg Ryan)

[CoastalCat]

Maybe HOF. I wouldn't be surprised if the Saints signed him. Division pickups are common, and they likely miss the Reggie Bush return era. 

[Jangler]

Nobody?

If he was a slightly above average WR? Yes. But he was a below-average WR who only stuck around the league because he could do exactly one thing: return punts. No way he should make the HOF.

[GoobyPls]

Nope

 

Are Brian Mitchell and Darren Sproles hall of famers? Both have had way more impact

Falcons have released Hester. No I don't want him on Panthers. If he doesn't play another down, is he a Hall of Famer? 

Yes or No

Yes, but only with the Bears and as a KR/PR. Ugh...he used to frustrate me every time he scorched us in kickoffs and punts

In terms of NFL return men....there is Hester.....then there is everyone else.  Which is rare in the NFL to stand alone.

So if specialist are eligible, then Hester certainly has a shot of getting into the Hall.  In fact, you might could argue the odds might be as good for him as some of cluster of say WRs who will become eligible.  There will be far too many of them to let them all in.

He didn't have enough impact to get in. 

 

You cant even compare him to punters and kickers since those guys typically have long impactful careers. Hester was relevant for 4 maybe 5 years

Bears returners?

 

I'll still take this guy:
