Hester got very lucky. He caught the ball when he had only one foot on the ground then the other came down out of bounds. Personally, I don't think he meant to do that.
In a Cowboys/Giants Monday night game a few years back, the Giants squib kicked late in the game and it went toward the sideline. The Cowboy return man got out of bounds (inside the 10, I think), reached back in bounds to pick up the ball. Penalty on the kicking team. Ball placed at the 40. THAT was a heads up play. Hester's was a lucky mistake IMO.
