2. Lance Briggs

Lance Briggs had the advantage and disadvantage of playing beside Brian Urlacher for most of his career. While Briggs and Urlacher were a dynamic linebacking corp. for a dominant Bears defense, Briggs has been often been overshadowed by Urlacher.

While Urlacher was a sure-fire first-ballot Hall of Famer, some people forget how dominant Briggs was. A seven-time Pro Bowler, Briggs played 11 seasons for the Bears, where he had 16 interceptions, five defensive touchdowns, 16 forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries and 15 sacks.

Briggs made the initial list of 122 Hall of Fame nominees for the 2020 class, but he didn’t make it to the list of 25 semifinalists.
