One of the BEST to EVER Play Linebacker

He appeared on television shows such as Matlock and Vegas.

He tied with Doug Atkins for most Pro Bowl appearances with 8 behind Walter Payton and Brian Urlacher in Bears history.

There will probably be a moment of silence tonight before the Bears-Commanders game.

RIP.

if you were to build a NFL team and start with defense, it goes him or LT as pick #1. He wasn’t just feared. He was a myth.

I loved watching him on film. Before my time. I grew up watching Mike Singletary, another great, mean SOB on the field.

Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke two of the
best middle linebackers ever.
