I just wish they gave the same amount of attention they gave to Hester to other specialists. Where's the love for Shane Lechler, arguably the greatest punter in history, or for Sean Landeta, Reggie Roby, and Don Chandler, to name a few others? How about for Gary Anderson, Nick Lowery, Jim Bakken, and Garo Yepremian, to name a few for kickers? How about for Rick Upchurch and Mike Nelms, to name a couple other kick returners? But maybe this is a sign that they're finally starting to give these guys their due attention, even as the likes of Anderson, Lechler, and Landeta have still never so much as made the cut to semifinalist.

Anyways, congrats to Hester, much deserved.

This guy deserves to be in the Class of 2024.Hester dominated his position to the point that the league had to even the playing field (pun intended), by changing the rules on kickoffs... He's the greatest returner we've ever seen. If he's not worthy, and there are plenty who are enshrined that aren't, then just do away with all the hoopla of it's significance.
