If you remember back in 2007, Devin Hester took home the ESPY for Best Breakthrough Athlete of the Year. It was a special moment for Hester, and to make things even more impressive, he has a chance for another special moment in 2015. As Vaughn McClure of ESPN explains, Hster has a chance to win his second ESPY this year, as his record-setting punt return was nominated.

The record-breaking punt return came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thurday Night Football, when he took it 62 yards to the house. Check out the replay below:

As McClure points out, Hester has some tough competition for the ESPY.

"Hester's competition for this year's award for record-breaking performance includes Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning's 509th touchdown pass, Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson's record-setting 37-point third quarter, and Oklahoma softball player Lauren Chamberlain's 91st home run."

Best of luck to Hester on his chance to take down his second award.
