Devin Hester didn’t get the call to the Hall of Fame in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Still, it is significant that Hester made it to the finalist stage in his first year of eligibility. It’s the farthest a primary returner has ever made it and bodes well for his chances in future years.
Those who did make the 2022 Pro Football Hall of Fame class included Packers safety Leroy Butler, 49ers defensive tackle Bryant Young, Jaguars offensive tackle Tony Boselli, Saints linebacker Sam Mills and Patriots defensive tackle Richard Seymour. Senior member Cliff Branch, former head coach Dick Vermeil and former director of officiating Art McNally also got the call Thursday.
“He deserves to be in there. There's no question about that,” Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan told NBC Sports Chicago Thursday. “I mean, he's the most dynamic returner that the game has ever seen.” “I hated playing against him because at any time there could be six points on the board,” Ryan said. “Every time that ball went up in the air, you held your breath. And then lastly, I loved playing with him. He's an awesome teammate.”
