Former Bears return star Devin Hester is a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Former Bears return great Devin Hester is one of 25 semifinals for this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame class.

Hester has made the final round in each of the past two years, only to miss the Hall. He’ll get another chance to advance this yeer against some new competition: edge rusher Julius Peppers, who played for the Bears from 2010-13, is one of two players to make the semifinals in their first season of eligibility.
