History of the Week: 1986 Super bowl Champions play DeKalb police

Players Steven Fuller, Richard Dent, and Brian Cabral were a few players among the “Good News Bears,” that posed with the NIU Silverettes and played the opposite of their original position, according to a Northern Star 1986 article.

Fuller, originally team quarterback, had a chance to play defense and reign as the basketball team’s captain.

Dent, All-World defensive end, got a chance to have the ball in his hand and dominate the score board.
