If someone asked who you favorite Chicago Bear was, who would it be? I feel confident in saying the following 5 names would account for 75% of the answers: Walter Payton, Dick Butkis, Brian Urlacher, Mike Singletary, and Mike Ditka. Even if one of those players isn’t your favorite Bear, I feel even more confident in saying that your answer wasn’t Red Grange. Why is that? His credentials certainly stack up. Grange is often heralded as the best college football player of all time, and owns a bust in Canton as well. However, none of Grange’s stats or stats or achievements can top what he did for football as we know it today.
