Sad man. Lost Jim Brown this year too. You could make a strong case these would be your Mt. Rushmore type faces you put at their respective positions. Tough guys too.

Watched a lot of old NFL Films of Butkus. Hell of a player. Born and raised in Chicago I believe. Illinois alumni. RIP.

Never played in the postseason. Da Bears really wasted his career and Sayers.

Butkus was such a huge part of the football landscape when I was a kid.

Loved his personality.

He definitely left his stamp on the NFL - He probably hated what the league is turning into
