A true Bears Mount Rushmore player, Butkus wore the Bears colors his entire career (Incl. Univ. of Ill).

IMHO, best Middle Linebacker ever. One of the most entertaining to watch in iso, as he played with unmatched effort and zeal.

One of the all time greats.    The epitome of a great player on bad teams.  Also one of the poster children for how far sports medicine has come in 50 years.

Butkus was an All-American ..... center..... at UofI. (Also AA as LB)

Also a surprising elite Twitter user given his age and persona
