The Bears have a lot of great players in their history, as might be inferred from the fact that they have more players in the Hall of Fame than any other franchise. However, if given access to magic or a time machine and allowed to pluck one player out of history to place on the current Bears, I think there is a clear choice—the MVP of Super Bowl XX: Richard Dent.
When contemplating this question, I was tempted to address the obvious hole in the Bears’ secondary and simply pull a healthy Charles Tillman in at cornerback.
