Devin Hester says he wasn't happy with Chicago Bears

Thursday Night Football was absolutely dominated by Devin Hester and the Atlanta Falcons last night and it has caused there to be a Devin Hester renaissance in terms of interest from NFL fans.

He scored two touchdowns last night against the hapless Tampa Bay Buccaneers with one of those being a touchdown that broke Deion Sanders’ all-time mark for kicks returned for touchdowns. Hester was the guest afterwords on NFL Network and in addition to getting mushy with Sanders, Hester kept it real too.

Hester got honest and candid on NFL Network last night when he talked about his last few years with the Chicago Bears and admitted that he wasn’t happy.

"“I wasn’t happy the last three or four years in Chicago because things wasn’t going the way I expect. I would always have a great camp, have all the receivers saying and coaches saying I had the best camp of all the receivers. And once the season start off, I’m not there.”"

Hester had good years with the Bears including a slew with head coach Lovie Smith — whom he embarrassed wholly and completely last night — but he clearly wasn’t happy with how he was used. He was just a kick returner with the Bears but with the Falcons he’s been able to expand his role and become more valuable.

It’s not that Hester hates the Bears, but he’s finally finding out just how shackled he was in the offenses that came through the Windy City during his time there.
