Then the Bears had Harlan Hill in his rook year in the early 50s who led the league. Then ......................................................................................................................................................................it probably has not been done since.

8th round pick in 1988. Tate, a safety, would play in 78 games for the Bears over 5 seasons, starting 12. He played 5 more years after leaving the Bears with some moderate success in Indy (started 36 of 50 games)

Beattie Feathers - played for Chicago from 1934-1937. Running Back out of U of Tennessee.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/444 ... ten-legend" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;No one before Beattie Feathers had ever gained 1,000 yards rushing in a season, and no one repeated his feat for another thirteen seasons, until Steve Van Buren of the Philadelphia Eagles gained 1,008 yards in 1947. But he rushed for over 1,000 yards in 1934 and broke a barrier many thought impossible at that time. He was the star halfback on this historic team and was the main reason Coach George Halas moved the famed Red Grange primarily to wide receiver. Hall of Famer Bronko Nagurski said of Beattie: "Watching him run reminded me of watching a jackrabbit in a cornfield with a hound chasing him. He would change his pace and his direction all the time. He also stayed close to his interference. Beattie would stay with you as long as you could do him some good then he'd make his cut and go off on his own. "

Bears leading rusher in 1974 with a scant 475 yards and 2 TDs. Those were some lean years. I thought I was a big fan until 1975, then Sweetness arrived. Grandberry only played one year.

Gotta have this guy. Still the Bears all-time leading WR in yardage. Doesn't say much about the offensive talent that has stuck around here. Hell, Harlan HIll is 2nd!!

A rarity in that he was traded away by the Bears, then later traded back again.
