Two current Chicago Bears were in DeKalb this weekend.

Running back Garrett Wolfe, a former Huskie, and kick returner Devin Hester enjoyed some basketball at the Campus Recreation Center on Saturday. The two played a couple games of five-on-five together on a court, while fans watched from the side.

Wolfe and Hester signed autographs and took pictures with fans afterward.

The pair also attended a VIP party at Otto’s on Saturday night.
