Devin Hester: Cornerback or Wide Receiver?

We all know of the Chicago Bears' decision to convert cornerback/return specialist Devin Hester to wide receiver prior to the 2007 season. This decision most likely ruined his return abilities a year later. Also he hasn't shown that he can be an elite receiver, though he's a good one....

Hester attended Suncoast High School, where he played football as a cornerback, wide receiver, return specialist, and running back. He graduated actually didnt gradutate until 2001-2002 because he enrolled in University of Miami as a sophomore. Which made him 19-20 years old. I wasnt at his graduation so I dont know which one it is. and to the guy below me he was 24 when drafted.

The Bears changed his position because he didn't fit their system as a CB. The Bears' D prefers CBs to be tall, over 6 foot. Hester is 5'11, and he doesn't really have that great of a jumping ability. They drafted him because he's an explosive player, because they were already stacked on defense.

VVVV I agree, he's actually a pretty decent WR.

devin was drafted in the second round but he wasn't able to fit into the bears defensive schemes so the converted him into a WR. personally, i think he is a better wide-out than corner.

he was drafted to be a return specialist...he wasn't drafted to be a cb

A WR BUT HE SHOULD STAY AS THEIR PRIMARY KR AND PR
