Prolific NFL kick returner Devin Hester retires

CHICAGO (AP) — Devin Hester, the spectacular speedster who holds the NFL record for kick return touchdowns with 20, has announced his retirement from the NFL.

Hester, 35, played for Atlanta, Baltimore and Seattle, but his best years were with the Bears from 2006-13. Chicago took him in the second round (57th overall) out of Miami, and at the end of his rookie season, he took the opening kickoff of the Super Bowl 92 yards for a touchdown against Indianapolis, though the Colts won the game.
