Bears Moving D. Hester to Offense

The Chicago Bears are moving cornerback Devin Hester to offense.

There had been speculation that the move would be made after Hester scored six special-teams touchdowns on returns last season as a rookie, then returned the opening kickoff of the Super Bowl for a touchdown.

The Bears are using New Orleans Saints tailback Reggie Bush as their model. They plan to line up Hester at running back at times, and at wide receiver at times. The official unveiling comes in a minicamp this weekend.
