Nov. 29th - HESTER RETURNS


Return star Devin Hester is the subject of several national features this week after his stunning performance last Sunday against Denver.  He was also back on the practice field despite a sore foot.  Hester is planning to attend the Taylor funeral next Monday. He was very close to Taylor. 

Hester told of his first experience as a player with Taylor at the University of Miami. It came on the opening kickoff of Hester's freshman season and it was Taylor who told Hester to "just follow me". Hester did, and returned the kick for a touchdown. The two were close friends and Hester said he is planning to do something "special" next Thursday night to honor Taylor in Washington when the Bears play the Redskins.
