Is it the same people voting as last year? If so, he will not get in. They made the opinion of the crowd pretty clear: he wasn’t on the field for enough snaps to warrant entry.
I, of course, think this is bullshit, because during his prime there was never a player who impacted the game more than him on the field at the same time as him.
IMO the best play that never was proved his entry and if the refs didn’t make a bs call, it would be on repeat. The return when Knox laid down and Hester acted like he caught it, Knox ran it in untouched. This is how scared teams were scared of Hester.

This takes it too far, plenty of players impacted the game more than him during his prime. That being said, almost all of those players are also in the Hall of Fame.
I should have put the qualifier of “in special teams situations” because, yes there were a lot of players more impactful than him on offense and defense. He was never the best player on his team in those positions. But Special Teams Devin Hester (the reason he is being considered for the HoF) was always the most feared / impactful player on the field.

I still remember the rage i felt when that was called back lol
Sounds somewhat reminiscent of the stupid “DH’s shouldn’t be in the baseball HoF” arguments from eons ago. Dumb as dogshit then, dumb as dogshit now.
