Hester holds the NFL record for most all-time return touchdowns (punt and kick combined) and most all-time punt return touchdowns. From 2007–2012, the Bears employed him on offense as well as special teams.

I got a great block from my teammates. I'm very happy, but I won't dwell on this.

It's a little nagging pain, but I feel deep down inside I'm 100%. I'm going to go out and play like it.

Not starting wouldn't be a disappointment, because I know once I get a chance to get in there, I'm going to make the best of it. It doesn't take as many plays as you might think to have an impact.

We're still struggling. I have to do what's best for my family. Our house is still damaged from the hurricane. My roof caved in. I have to take this opportunity for my family.

I know I'm a football player. No matter what opinion people have, that's fine with me. I'm just willing to go in right away and get with a team and help any way I can. I'm a player that's willing to do anything.

I just want to be a key player. Whenever I'm called on, I just want to make the play at the right time. I want to step up and do my best. I would like to start, but I'm not concentrating on being a starter.

It's a godfather relationship. He's been through the trials and tribulations.

It was my first time actually hearing Deion talk. I was very excited.

My mom is like God. Basically without her, I wouldn't be here today. She's always been the one to keep my head up with whatever struggle I've been through in life.
