Too soon?

Not too soon, but no less tragic. Ditto Bears rookie Fred Washington.

Remember when Corey Wooton ended Brett Favre's career with his sack on him in December 2010? Put some respect on his name.

Dick Gordon.....Pro-Bowl '70 & '71. ...... At WR!!! Believe me....if you don't remember those teams, you truly haven't seen awful Bears' football. What Gordon could of done in this modern game?

Yeah I was like 5 then, and my first exposure to football was a "coach" hitting us with a belt because in the middle of yelling at us for doing the wrong thing he forgot to explain to us what the right thing was (this was at a Catholic school, no less. Maybe predictably?) I hated football from that point until the Bears drafted a running back from Jackson State, and all of Chicagoland was talking about him.

For my older heads, he was the first player I remember on the Bears with my last name. So, I loved him when I was like 9

Deep threat.......Dick Gordon was a bad azz. At one point Dick Gordon and Vince Evans had the highest yards per catch in the NFL. Then our idiot Bear ownership let Dick Gordon go to the CFL

The flash was so fast that you knew he was out there but never saw him. Don't get more obscure.

How about Kenny Margerum? Decent possession guy that left his feet too much and got a ding, lost the little speed he had.

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

Corey Wooton because he finally made Favre retire

He was definitely the better of the two CBs between #24 and #27.

Harold Edward "Red" Grange. Not so much because he is obscure in his time, but in current time he is obscure and probably the single biggest reason we have an NFL today. He saved football.

Kieth Jennings, the black toxic avenger

David Tate

#49. I remember him having a slow 40 time but surprising football speed. I even vaguely recall him successfully running with #80 from San Francisco in a playoff game.

Absolutely. However let me "knit pick" here.......I say Papa Bear Halas is the biggest reason because it was his idea, build the foundation and organized the league.............. And in all fairness had some help from "Curly", not Howard, Lambeau..........."Red" Grange w/o a doubt made it popular and brought in the fans. I believe he was from Wheaton, if memory serves me right.
