Bears | Devin Hester doesn't work with receivers

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 15:09:27 -0700

Chicago Bears WR Devin Hester did not work with the wide receivers Tuesday, April 16, during the first day of the team's voluntary minicamp. Instead, he worked all special teams plays, including kicks and punt returns. "I love it, man," Hester said after practice. Head coach Marc Trestman said Hester will focus on being the team's return man.

Fantasy Tip: With this news, Hester won't be fantasy-relevant in 2013, unless your league awards individual points for return yards and scores.

Bears | Devin Hester on board with role

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:00:57 -0700

Chicago Bears WR Devin Hester is fully on board with his prospective role as full-time returner. "It was kind of my idea to let me more focus on my kickoff and punt return thing," Hester said. "It was more of my idea to do it."

Fantasy Tip: Him not playing offense as much makes him pretty useless in fantasy, but it's probably a wise move for the better of the team.

Bears | Devin Hester may seek trade

Sun, 03 Feb 2013 07:19:59 -0800

Chicago Bears WR Devin Hester said he has no plans to retire at this time; however, he may need a change of scenery in the offseason. Hester felt totally ignored on offense, at times. His frustration mounted and he lacked focus as his touches faded both during games and in practice. "I'm not making any excuses. I know some of the plays I should have made in terms of catching the ball. But I just wasn't feeling it. My mind wasn't there the majority of the time," Hester said. In terms of seeking a trade, Hester said, "It's a possibility. I'm loyal to my team. But the fans and my teammates have to understand where I'm coming from."

Bears | Devin Hester not happy with role

Sat, 29 Sep 2012 09:19:27 -0700

Chicago Bears WR Devin Hester is not happy with his lack of touches on offense this season. Hester has just two receptions and two rushes through three games. "It's hard being one of the top electrifying players in the league and you're not able to get your hands on the ball as much as you want," Hester said. "They know I want the ball. I just have to keep working at it, keep my head up, and get better every day. And don't let it distract me." Hester is waiting to see the "Hester Package" the team talked about in the offseason. "Hopefully it'll come one day," Hester said. "I'm trying to figure out when it's going to come. It's a disappointing feeling. I know what I'm capable of."

Bears | Expect limited returns from Devin Hester

Wed, 06 Jun 2012 07:56:55 -0700

Chicago Bears WR Devin Hester may not return kicks this upcoming season due to him having an expanded role offensively. The Bears seem intent on implementing a "Hester package" on offense that could necessitate limiting Hester's special teams workload. "I think every now and then, I'm going to do kickoffs," said Hester, who still is expected to handle most punt returns. "It will depend on how the game is going. If I'm involved in the offense the whole first and second quarters, maybe I'll tell them to cut back on the kickoff returns. If I'm not getting that many touches on offense, of course I'm going to want to get some more touches on kickoff returns. That's how I see things panning out."

Mon, 07 May 2012 13:28:27 -0700

Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall believes WR Devin Hester will have a big year on offense this season and thinks Hester has the skills to be a Pro Bowl receiver. "Honestly I think he is going to have a bigger year than me this year. I just don't think he's been in an environment, a situation offensively that catered to him as a player. I think with [quarterback coach Jeremy Bates] and [QB Jay Cutler] growing and maturing, I think they will be able to put him in a better position this year to where he can probably do damage. I'm excited about everyone else, but the person I'm more excited to see is Devin," Marshall said.
