3. Olin Kreutz

Offensive linemen are judged to the standard of former Bears great Olin Kreutz, who played 13 seasons for the Bears at center. He was the anchor for Chicago’s once-dominant offensive line, as well as a member of the 2006 Super Bowl squad.

Kreutz holds the team record for the most games played by an offensive lineman with 182, and he was second only to Walter Payton for most games played with the Bears. Kreutz was a six-time Pro Bowler, a one-time first-team All-Pro and second-team All-Pro and a member of the Hall of Fame’s All-2000s second team.

Like Briggs, Kreutz 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.
