All -Time Chicago Bears Team

The Minnesota Vikings host the Chicago Bears tomorrow. As one of only two teams that has been a part of every league season, the Bears have a long history. They also have a mostly strong history. The team’s nine titles is topped only by the 13 won by the Green Bay Packers. Despite overall success, their current 37-year title drought is the longest that the franchise has seen. Poor little Bears. On the eve of the big game here’s a look at some of the best players in Chicago Bears franchise history. 

Offense

Quarterback 
Sid Luckman

Running Back
Walter Payton

Fullback
Bronko Nagurski 

Wide Receivers
Harlon Hill
Brandon Marshall

Tight End
Mike Ditka

Tackles
Joe Stydahar
George Musso

Guards
Dan Fortmann
Stan Jones

Center
Bulldog Turner

Defense

Defensive Ends
Richard Dent
Khalil Mack

Defensive Tackles
Link Lyman
Dan Hampton

Linebackers
Bulldog Turner
Dick Butkus
Brian Urlacher

The middle linebacker tradition in Chicago is ridiculous. No other team can boast the riches at any position that the Bears can boast at the middle linebacker position. Bulldog Turner, Bill George, Dick Butkus, Mike Singletary, Brian Urlacher. Roquan Smith is on pace to join them. It’s a tradition so great that I’ve selected a middle linebacker trio. I’ve done that at the expense of outstanding outside linebackers like Otis Wilson, Lance Briggs, and Joe Fortunato. 

Cornerbacks
Charles Tillman
J.C. Caroline

Safeties
Red Grange
Roosevelt Taylor

Special Teams

Kicker
Robbie Gould

Punter
Bobby Joe Green

Kick Returner
Gale Sayers

Punt Returner
Devin Hester

That’s a terrifying return duo.
