Hester represents Bears on All-Pro team

Bears defensive end Julius Peppers and return specialist Devin Hester on Wednesday were named to the Sporting News’ NFL All-Pro team. The squad was chosen by a panel of 50 NFL coaches and executives.

Hester led the NFL in punt returns with a career-high and Bears-record 17.1-yard average and three touchdowns. In a division-clinching win over the Vikings Dec. 20 in Minnesota, he set an all-time league record with his 14th career kick return TD when he brought back a punt 64 yards.

Hester also topped the NFL in kickoff returns with a 35.6-yard average, but his 12 returns were shy of the required 20 returns needed to officially qualify in the league rankings.
