Chicago Bears Hall of Fame running back, Gale Sayers, died Wednesday at 77 years old.
Sayers totaled 9,435 combined net yards and 4,956 yards rushing. Sayers was a five-time All-Pro, made four Pro Bowls and was a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Known as the Kansas Comet, Sayers’ career was cut short by knee injuries. He played just seven seasons and retired in 1972. Still, his impact on the league was immense.
Sayers’ explosive and field-flipping style of play was ahead of its time. Check out what made him so great in these highlights:
