[QUOTE="DeonThomas, post: 1947657, member: 748424"] Butkus was absolutely awesome. A monster. Unparalleled. Legendary. He literally tried to hurt people when making tackles. Check out ESPN's top 10 college football players of all-time (from 2020). I was at the NCAA Championship game where they were honored. Two Illini on that list, of course.. Only one of the top 10 was a defensive player. BUTKUS. And then of course watching the Bears every single Sunday on TV as a young child: - Butkus - Sayers - Ditka - Ronny Bull - Dick Gordon [/QUOTE]
