On August 4, legendary Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher took his rightful place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest linebackers to ever step onto the gridiron. The most recent superstar in Chicago’s vaunted history of inside linebackers, Urlacher truly personified what it meant to be a Monster of the Midway.
The eight-time Pro Bowler became the thirty-fifth Bears player to enter the Hall of Fame, and the twenty-eighth to have spent most of their career with the team, both the highest total among all NFL franchises.
