Brian Urlacher is the best Chicago Bear of the 21st century. The four-time NFL First-Team All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowler helped the Bears win the NFC championship in the 2006 season and face the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI. Urlacher became an elite Chicago Bear linebacker, becoming the latest Hall of Famer for the Bears at that position.
What Dick Butkus was for the Bears in the 1960s, Mike Singletary became in the 1980s. Urlacher followed in the tradition of legendary Bear linebackers and, in the process, made himself a beloved figure in Chicago.
Bear fans might be interested in what Urlacher has to say before an NFL draft in which Chicago has the No. 1 pick. Should the Bears keep the pick and use it on Caleb Williams, or should they trade it and build around Justin Fields? It’s the first and biggest question at the draft. Urlacher has made his feelings plain on the matter. He doesn’t have the final say, but it’s noteworthy where he lands on this question as the Bears prepare to make a hugely consequential decision which will shape the rest of the 2024 draft board.
