Dante Hall Out for This Year, Hoping to Be Better Than Devin Hester Next Year

Rams return man Dante Hall is out for the season with an ankle injury, and it feels like a long, long time ago that Hall was the best return man in football. In fact, seeing as he'll be 30 in September, you'd have to think maybe his career is just about over.

But that's not how Hall sees it. In fact, Hall has his eyes on a big target: He wants to be better than Bears return man Devin Hester.
"I've got very high standards for myself," Hall said. "I'm not the best in the league right now. That's Mr. Hester. Until I'm better than him, it's not good enough."
Hall has 12 career touchdown returns, six on punts and six on kickoffs. That's the second-most in NFL history, but it's only two ahead of Hester, who's played six fewer seasons than Hall. Considering that Hester is younger and healthier than Hall, I don't think Hall is ever going to be better than Hester.
