Andy Livingston, No. 48.

Came to the Bears as a 19 year old out of Phoenis Jr College and was the youngest player ever in the NFL. At 6' 1" 237, he was said to be faster than Gale Sayers and even ran back a kickoff for a TD.. Played very little his first year, 1964, and then had an opportunity in 1965. He averaged 5.8 ypc, and the sky was the limit for this young phenom.

But he tore his knee up his third yearand was never the same . Played four years for the Bears and then a couple of years for NO. You wonder what he could have been if he'd stayed healthy...
Great pick

Roberto Garza deserves his due. Anchored RG for damn near a decade, NFL abused him for Hispanic endorsements and of course the donuts

Terry Schmidt, late 70s. Last white CB to play for the Bears. When playing man to man he would still give a 20 yard cushion. Terrible player

What makes him one of your favorites if he was terrible? I can't quite put my finger on it
