I couldn't understand the draw of Hester so I looked at their career stats(below)  After seeing them it became obvious aliens were the cause of the decision. Best reason I could come up with.

Things that stood out to me were while playing about the same number of games Hester only started 47, only 3427 yards, 17 TD;s, while fumbling an astounding 41 times.   What the H E double hockey sticks ???

Taylor
Games-153, GS-137, Touch-2824, YScm--14079, TD's-74, Fumble-27
Gates
Games-236, GS-190, Touch-955, YScm--11841, TD's-116, Fumble-8
Hester
Games-156, GS-47, Touch-291, YScm--3427, TD's-17, Fumble-41

A little math on fumble rate
Fred = .96%per touch
Gates = .86% per touch
Hester = 14.9% per touch  (probably why he only started 47 times.)

Bruh, Hester was a corner who played a few offensive snaps ala Swagnew. His numbers are all from his role as return specialist. You can't compare him to every down players, he was a specialist.

I understand he was a Wide Receiver / return specialist.  Yes, he was a good returner, but I do remember his fumbling. Most on here are all over Tank for fumbling. tanks rate this year was 2 over 51 touches. That is 3.9% vs Hester's 14 almost 15%. I guess they were feeling guilty about needing to put a special teams specialist in the hall. If that is the case our long snapper is well on his way to the hall. LOL
