Devon Hester Net Worth and Salary: Devin Hester is an American football player who has a net worth of $3 million. Born on November 4, 1982, in Riviera Beach, Florida, he was a toddler when his parents were taken away. His mother was involved in a fatal car accident and his father died of cancer.
Raised by his stepfather Derek Brown and younger brother Lenores Jr., he struggled with depression as a child. Once he got into football, he realised it was both his cure and his passion. At first, Hester was a devoted follower of the Dallas Cowboys. He was initially recognized by SuperPrep.com as they named him the best high school player in Florida and Parade and placed him on their All-American team. Next, he played in the 2002 California State Bowl, during which he returned a great kick for an 80-yard touchdown. His teammates called him “Sugarfoot.” Devin Hester got his first taste of national stardom as a student at the University of Miami. There, he was greeted by the “Walterkamp All-American” and established himself as an excellent returner. At one point, he even managed to fight back on a 98-yard touchdown over Florida. Hester turned pro for the Chicago Bears in 2006, after which he set a record six touchdowns in thirteen weeks. He continued to stand out as a returner throughout his career and set the record for most return touchdowns. After seven years with the Bears, he signed a three-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons on March 20, 2014.
