"If you kick to me, you are brave." The exact words that Devin Hester said when he was playing in college for the University of Miami.
Those words still stand true in the NFL for Hester.
The second year return man has already returned 10 kickoff/punt returns for a touchdown in his first 27 games as a pro. The most kick/punt returns for a touchdown in a career is 13 by Brian Mitchell.
Apparently the Denver Broncos are brave, very brave.
The Broncos elected to punt to Hester early in the second half and Hester took it to the house.
Did the Broncos learn their lesson? Nope. They kicked off to Hester later in the second half after a Bronco touchdown and once again Hester took it right back to the end zone.
It is remarkable to watch but it is so much more fun to watch Hester when he is not playing your team.
Hester single-handily kept the Bears in the game and gave quarterback Rex Grossman a chance to cause overtime. Grossman did just that and the Bears won the game in overtime 37-34.
It is hard to say who is to blame for the Broncos kicking to Hester but if any NFL coaches out their are reading my blog I got one thing to say, don't try and be brave.
