Devin Hester Changed Football. This Is the Full Story.
Jan 28, 2026
This is one of the interviews D.A. is most proud of in his long career.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Devin Hester joins D.A. for a wide-ranging, fascinating deep dive into a career that redefined special teams forever.
They revisit:
The iconic kickoff return to open the Super Bowl
What it really means for special teams players to reach Canton
Whether Steve Tasker belongs in the Hall of Fame
Hester’s legendary Miami teams and unreal college talent
The myth that his production “tailed off” — and why teams simply stopped kicking to him to avoid embarrassment
Hester explains how fear changed the way opponents played him — and how dominance doesn’t always show up in the box score.
This isn’t just a career retrospective.
It’s a conversation about respect, impact, and rewriting the rules.
