Former Bears left tackle Jimbo Covert took his place at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night. He was one of 20 members of the Hall’s centennial class and 2020 class honored — and one of 12 to give a speech — at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio.
Covert was presented by former roommate Matt Suhey, his former roommate and ex-Bears running back.
A Pennsylvania native and former Pitt player, Covert’s speech touched on former head coach Mike Ditka and ex-teammate Steve McMichael, who is battling ALS.
