A storied franchise, the Bears trace their origins to the very birth of the NFL in 1920. The team has won eight NFL championships and one Super Bowl, and their roster has included 30 Hall of Famers—an NFL record.
Given their success over many decades, ranking the Bears' greatest players requires a comprehensive look at their entire history. This top 10 list takes into account skill and ability level relative to the era, statistical performance, impact on the franchise and the team’s success during the player's career. Whittling down this list to just 10 was not an easy task, so I've included several very impressive honorable mentions, as well.
