For the better part of a decade, whenever Devin Hester lined up to receive a punt or a kick for the Chicago Bears, that tilt was imminent. Hester's combination of burst, field vision, elusiveness, and the ability to make the first man miss without breaking stride gave him the fastest path from kick received to end zone of any return specialist who has ever played the game — 20 return touchdowns over his career, an all-time NFL record that stands as the definitive measure of what the position can be. This signed 16x20 photo, authenticated with a JSA COA, is the collectible from the sport's greatest return specialist.

The Bears built game plans around his ability to change field position and field momentum in a single play, and the NFL eventually began working to kick away from him as a tactical decision rather than a football one.
