New offensive coordinator Mike Martz originally suggested that Hester would play mostly in the slot, but it's a good sign that Hester is learning all the receiver positions. Versatility will ensure plenty of targets in a pass-happy system. All the receivers in Chicago have significant upside with Martz in town.

In Mike Martz's Rams offense, Torry Holt was the split end and Isaac Bruce was the flanker. Earl Bennett has clearly fallen behind the rest of the group. Knox profiles similarly to Holt at 6'0/185 with blazing speed and change-of-direction ability. The No. 1 goal will be to polish his route running.
