Dick Butkus, 80, Chicago Bears

Dick Butkus is one of the most legendary and intimidating linebackers ever to play football. Known for his ferocity and hard hits, the Chicago Bears star was a force to be reckoned with on the field. After being drafted third overall, he played for the team in the ’60s and ’70s and was selected to the Pro Bowl eight times.

Butkus was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year twice and was also a six-time first-team All-Pro selection. Unsurprisingly, his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame came in 1979, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time.
