Article I wrote on Devin Hester and his role as a Wide Receiver. What are your thoughts? Do you think with time he can become a solid WR for the Bears? He definitely has shown progress considering he barely played WR in college outside of "reverses" and "gadget plays".

Feedback is appreciated :)

if he works at it i think he can be a deep threat with his speed and maybe like a percy harvin

I don't think Hester is much more at WR than he already is. On occasion, put him in the slot & send him deep. The guy is shifty, speedy and has good hands...but not physical enough to fight off aggressive defenders.

Hester could outrun anybody in a secondary...but it would be way too easy to switch to a cover 9, jam him on the line & take him out of the game.

He needs to work on more than speed if he wants to be a good WR someday

Dont use him as a receiver too often, but once in a while would benefit the Bears.
