Some of you will say I’m crazy, that it’s the Mann, hands down, and what’s wrong with me?
I understand. Believe me I do.
Yet when I first considered the question of my all-time favorite Bears special teamer, the guy who came to mind was not my selection, nor Mannelly, but Peanut Tillman. Here is this all-time great cornerback, and he’s busting his ass to block on punt returns and block punts. Peanut epitomizes the value the Dave Toub-era Bears put into special teams, making starters want to be role players.
