Dick Butkus The most destructive force the NFL had ever seen...He's not a man who walks like a bear...He's a Bear who walks like a man!
Twice named All-American during his football-playing days at the University of Illinois, Dick Butkus went on to spend eight years (1965-1973) as linebacker for the Chicago Bears. Chosen best NFL defensive player on two separate occasions He was appointed to the Football Hall of Fame in 1979, and an award for outstanding college linebacker has been named in his honor...Butkus is only surpassed by L.T by a hair in terms of defensive dominance in my eyes
