Drafted by the Bears in 1965, Butkus was known as a ruthless hitter, averaging 120 tackles a season. Possessing exceptional strength and speed, Butkus made game-changing plays across the field, including 22 interceptions and 27 fumble recoveries over the course of his career. His work on the gridiron earned him several honors and awards over the course of his nine seasons. He earned eight pro-bowl selections, five All-Pro awards, and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year twice - just to name a few. Butkus, who entered the Football Hall of Fame in 1979, has had his number #51 retired by the Chicago Bears and is recognized as one of the team’s greatest players. 📷: Dick Butkus’ Chicago Bears #51 jersey, part of our Culture and the Arts: Sport and Leisure collection.」10月7日 3時30分
