Devin Hester on his eight-season run with the Bears and his Pro Football Hall of Fame prospects.

Hester is back in Chicago this weekend, joining Urlacher, Tillman and Matt Forte as well as former Blackhawks star Chris Chelios for Saturday’s FanDuel Fan Fest at Guaranteed Rate Field. The event, which includes musical performances from Wiz Khalifa and Alesson, will run from 2-9 p.m. and feature a handful of competitions between the former Chicago athletes.

“Matt’s a lefty,” he said with a laugh. “So, you know lefties. They don’t have the proper fundamentals of throwing the ball. So I think I’ve got the edge over him.” Man, when you play the game, when you play sports, every now and then you come across a team and a unit and a group of players that’s all on the same page and all have the same mindset. It’s very rare that you get on a team like that. And I was fortunate to be on a team like that my first season. They were all on the same page. With everything. Hung out together. In meetings, they were always locked and loaded and paying attention. And everything the coaches said, we soaked it up like sponges.

There are a lot of people on the Hall of Fame selection committee who are confident that your case is a when-not-if situation. How do you react to those sentiments that your day is coming?
