WATCH: Devin Hester Unboxes Gold Jacket Ahead of Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement

Devin Hester, one of the most electric players in Chicago Bears' history, is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of its 2024 class. Known for his elusive kick and punt returns, Hester shattered numerous records throughout his unforgettable career. He was also deployed as a wide receiver, though he never had significant success at the position.

In the years after Hester's playing days, a debate ensued. "Can a player get into the Hall of Fame solely on kick returns?"

With NFL rule changes regarding kickoffs, his feats became even tougher to accomplish as no one came close to his return numbers. After a few years of questioning, the debate was closed as Hester was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this year.

Hester will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 3. The 2024 class also includes former Bears Steve "Mongo" McMichael and Julius Peppers, and Chicago will play in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 1 against the Houston Texans.

Previously, inductees received an iconic visit from former Pro Football Hall of Fame President & Executive Director David Baker telling them they were elected, which made for some incredible and emotional moments. But with Baker retired, the tradition has changed.

Now, it seems the trend is to get the players unboxing their gold jackets for the induction. Hester's recent unboxing was special as he laid eyes on his gold jacket for the first time in front of his family, showing his kids every detail of the garment.

Hester also had a ton of other memorabilia from his career in the background, but the Pro Football Hall of Fame golden jacket will have to be his prized piece.
