Hall of famer passed away at 77. He was before my time, but watching some of his highlights in the past, he was an exceptional player.

One of the greats, especially for those of us who are life long Bear fans.

Fun to watch and a HOF back. I remember when he was trying to cut upfield running the right side sweep and blew out his knee.
