It is already the final month of 2014 and time to recap all of the greatest moments of the year! To get things started, we go back to a big record breaking night for a guy who will likely secure his place in Canton as soon as he is eligible.

In a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, punt return specialist Devon Hester passed none other than Deion Sanders for the most return touchdowns in NFL history. In the second quarter, Hester returned a punt 62 yards and high stepped his way into history. High stepping in honor of his mentor and friend Sanders who would frequently do the same when he got into the end zone.
Unfortunately, Hester received a penalty for the “showboating”, but it was well worth it as it was his moment to shine. Sanders was in attendance for the game and the two got a chance to talk after the game. The two became emotional as Sanders expressed his love for Hester, not just as a football player. The Falcons went on to win the game 56-14.
