Matt Suhey ... the Bears have never really had the fullback position figured out since he retired ... just a wide variety of H-Back types whose combined efforts over the years amounted to less impact that Suhey had in just 1

One of the most talked about holdouts in the day, Todd Bell screwed himself out of a Super Bowl. A hitter that was making a name for himself, then the 85-86 season rolled around.

Go to about the 46 second mark.

I thought Muster was going to be a true star, but he never really took that next big step IMO

Ricky Manning Jr. was a vital acquisition of the 2006 Bears NFC champion team. Big playmaker, great depth.

To be fair, nobody mentioned Jordan Howard yesterday. I kind of also look at this list as an opportunity to point out lesser-known guys who had these digits.

Cecil Turner, 1968-73, FL/PR/KR. He went to the Pro Bowl in 1970 as a KR after have 4 return TDs. This is still an NFL record. Those would be the only return TDs he would have for his career. Hester had 5 in his career.

The first #20 I remember, Joe Taylor. DB for the Bears from 67-74. Recorded 15 ints for the Bears. He was originally drafted by the Giants in the 15th rd in 67. He died in 2001 at the age of 61.

Gary Huff, one of the many awful QBs to play for the Bears. He started 22 games for the Bears from 73-76. He compiled a 5-17 record. He threw 34 ints and only 12 TDs :sick: He was the 33rd overall pick by the Bears in the 73 draft. He would finish his shitty career with the popsicle Buccaneers (2 yrs) where he would throw another 16 ints in only 6 games. Now that is what you call suck.
