When Billy “White Shoes” Johnson says the sky is the limit for Devin Hester and the NFL record books when it comes to returns, we’re talking the SKY.
Hester ended a more than two-year drought without a score last Monday night with a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown at Soldier Field in the Chicago Bears’ victory over the Green Bay Packers. It gave Hester 12 return touchdowns in his career and leaves him just one return score away from tying Brian Mitchell for the all-time lead.
“The way he is going, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with 20 touchdowns," said White Shoes, the return man for the NFL’s 75th Anniversary Team."He's at a peak now where he just goes and he is in a zone. I'm sure he will be viewed as the best of all time, and rightfully so."
