My Take
Devin Hester is my favorite kind of Hall of Famer: the one who forced the institution to expand its definition of greatness. Return specialists were treated as situational afterthoughts until Hester made every punt and kickoff a potential catastrophe for opponents. Coaches changed entire game plans just to kick away from one man, which is the highest compliment football can pay. His enshrinement in Canton as the only primary returner there validates an idea I love: master one narrow craft completely and the world has to make room for you. Few athletes have bent a sport's strategy so thoroughly from so few touches of the ball.
