The most productive return man to set foot on an NFL field is almost ready for an 11th season.

Veteran free agent Devin Hester posted a video of himself doing agility drills to his Instagram account Wednesday, highlighting his progress amid a lengthy recovery from January toe surgery.

The 33-year-old implored teams to get in touch with his agent, adding that he's only two weeks away from being ready to play.

Best known for an incredible eight-year stint with the Chicago Bears, Hester is the NFL's all-time record holder for return touchdowns with 20.

Though his skill set may be in decline, it certainly appears teams are interested to find out whether he can bounce back from the injury issues that limited him to just five games in his second season with the Atlanta Falcons.

Hester said at the end of July that seven teams reached out with interest in his services after he was released this offseason. An apparent update provided this week, which also may be a way of drumming up further interest, indicates an offer pool twice that size.

"I can't say much now, but I'm getting close," Hester told TMZ Sports. "(I) got 14 teams waiting on me."

Hester's last return score came in his third game after joining the Falcons in 2014, when a 62-yard scamper saw him break a tie with Deion Sanders to take sole possession of the top spot in league history.
