... It was only a matter of time, I guess. After six special teams touchdowns his rookie season, Devin Hester -- a man without a true position -- will be joining the offense. Hester was listed as a cornerback at the University of Miami, but that's not why the Bears selected him in the second round of the 2006 draft. Whatever, he's taking his skillz to the other side of the ball : Hester will work with the wide receivers at minicamp, but he's also expected to line up in the backfield at times and could be utilized like the New Orleans Saints' Reggie Bush. Well, Chicago could utilize him like Reggie Bush, but I'm pretty sure that'll be where the comparisons end. I'm envisioning more of an Antwaan Randle El-type role. Whatever, I think it's a good idea. Hester is obviously a scoring threat, and if nothing else, he'll take some of the pressure of Rex Grossman. Which reminds me, maybe Hester can line up at quarterback fo

... I'm a little late in posting this, but it's still worth a mention. The blog Behind the Steel Curtain asks an interesting question about Pittsburgh's draft: Did the team get it backwards?

... Hester Moving To Offense One day, we will have a projection system based solely on coach quotes about a player. In this vein, the quotes from this article project Hester to have about 14 catches for 165 yards and 8 carries for 48 yards, most of which will be on bubble screens and reverses. There are easier ways to get 1.5 DPAR. posted 5-14-2007 at 6:19 PM by

... When the Bears start minicamp on Friday, Rex Grossman will have a new offensive weapon. Devin Hester, who scored 7 touchdowns off kick returns as a rookie, is moving to offense in an undefined roll. Hester will work with the wide receivers at minicamp, but he’s also expected to line up in the backfield at times and could be utilized like the New Orleans Saints’ Reggie Bush.
