- Richard Marvin Butkus (December 9, 1942 - October 5, 2023) was an American football linebacker, sports commentator, and actor. He played football for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL) from 1965 to 1973.
He was invited to eight Pro Bowls in nine seasons, named a first-team All-Pro six times, and was twice recognized by his peers as the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year. Butkus was renowned as a fierce tackler and for the relentless effort with which he played. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most intimidating linebackers in professional football history. Спорт
He was the Defensive Player of the Year in 1969. For a team that was 1-13.
Rest in peace Dick Butkus.
As a kid scared to death of him just watching him on t.v. The greatest linebacker of all time!!! I mean the Butkis Award!!! That says it all!!!
Defensive Player of the Year in 1969. The Bears were 1-13 that year. Amazing accomplishment.
😮😊
Even today, there is and was, none better !
I’m from illinois and played football my entire life and it really amazes me that more young players don’t know who he is. World wide LEGEND but in illinois he’s a God
When i grew up Butkus was everyone's favorite. No matter what team you supported. Thats respect.
The most violent player in pro football history based on facts
I have information to back my claims up
Ok. Your point? Back when football was violent. Not like today's flag football
Jack Tatum is up there too
He was awesome a pleasure to watch
There was only one name, growing up in the '60s and '70s, that everybody agreed was the toughest in the NFL and that was Dick Butkus
Imagine being a reciever in the huddle and getting your number called for a play going across the middle against Butkus. No thanks, I'd pull a hammy breaking the huddle
It had to hurt after awhile.
Butkus literally scared entire TEAMS, by himself. Players got phantom injuries in order not to face him❗️
The BEST EVER, no one can touch his shoes ! NO ONE period.
G.O.A.T 🏈
best of best period
14 games was all they played in a season back then, making the numbers more impressive
Greatest player ever
Legend...
It's like Chicago breeds best linebackers!!! Singletary,etc.,etc.
Roquan Smith, Urlacher, Briggs too!!
Ray Nitschke
Bill George too.😊
Butkus was big for a LB for the time at 6'3" and 245 lbs. He as big as many offensive guards for the time.
middle line backer vs. outside LB. they were both the best, Butkus and LT.
LT was a steroid/drug product…Dick didn’t need that crap!
A warrior
He never missed... he got hold of you and you went down, rather violently
Dick Butkus was the standard. And without question the face of the mighty monsters of the midway.
This MAN HAS 3 AWARDS NAMED AFTER HIM AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL/ COLLEGE & PRO- LEVEL
ANYONE ELSE??? NO.
THAT MAN IS CHICAGO FOOTBALL. ( ESPECIALLY, ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE) (LIKE WALTER PAYTON IS ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE) MISS THEM BOTH RIP GENTLEMEN
6'3" 245lbs is still pretty big...especially for a linebacker.
I wish you guys would do an Urlacher video. IMO Urlacher is actually easily the best pure 4-3 MIKE to ever play. When Urlacher started his career after moving from SAM LB to MIKE LB under BLACHE he proved he could play for tackles, sacks, TFLs, FFs, and run defense. What is even more impressive was After LOVIE SMITH showed up and utilized Urlacher as a TAMPA2 MIKE LB where Urlacher was still able to accomplish what he did under BLACHE, buy also under Lovie Smith Urlacher was able to both drop into ZONE coverage and MAN up with opposing offenses #1 WR, TEs & HBs in the passing game. All while standing at 6'4" @ 260 pounds and running a low 4.5/40. In Lovie Smiths TAMPA2 defense Urlacher had more INTs than most CBs & DBs and URLACHER had more INTS than most other LBs had SACKS or TFLS.. That's nuts. I know people like to get caught up in name recognition from yesteryear but If you actually watch Urlachers tape I don't know how anyone being honest couldn't realize Urlacher is at least the best BEARS MIKE LB ever. I WOULD LOVE to have seen Urlacher in the middle of BUDDY RYANS 46 defense. Urlacher would have given that 46 a whole other dimension of ability defending the pass that Singletary just didn't possess. Once DAN MARINO picked on Singletary with the passing game for 4 quarters on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in 1985 and it gave the rest of the league a blueprint on how to pick the Bears 46 apart. Urlacher would have been a whole other monster to deal with in the middle of that 46.
Greatest MLB to ever play the game! Jack Lambert is a close second and Ray Lewis is maybe 3rd
It’s Saybol! 😲 😲 😲 😂😂😂
Fair-o-see-us? Since when do we mispronounce ferocious? (Fur-o-shus) 🙄
The AI voice bothered me too.
He was my childhood hero and idol….wish I could have met him in person….RIP you one of a kind GOAT!
God may decide to make a better linebacker than Dick Butkus some day, but He hasn't done it yet - #51 = ~the~ greatest!
This fucking AI voice is on so many of these videos everywhere on RUclips.
And it sucks.
Probably better to narrate yourself instead of using a machine - Butukus???
better than saying it the reall way..butt kiss
Where do they get these narrators these days? The guy can't even read and pronounce the word "notably"?
It's ridiculous. It must be a computer voice.
AI
Sadly, the Bears teams he was on were crap. Him and Gale were the only standouts.
I hate these computer generated narrations! It ruins a good film.
Did he ever get a super bowl ring?
The Bears weren’t a strong team…do some research
NEVER, THEY HAD NO OFFENSE!
Dick butkus number 1 wilbur marshall number 2
AI sux
What a dumb question.
LT. IS THE GREATEST LINEBACKER OOF ALL TIME .HANDS DOWN.
Best linebacker in history? Those who faced LT would say differently, and with good reason. He was just as big as Butkus, just as strong as Butkus, just as mean as Butkus, and twice as fast as Butkus.
I'll take butkus, and Lambert.
And high on cocaine!!!
And mainly, only a pass rusher.
Nobody else could tackle like Butkus.
LT = D R U G S
I disagree.
Good riddance to OJ the killer
