Dick Butkus, a Hall of Famer who was among the greatest, most respected and most feared players in NFL history and also had a long acting career in TV, film and commercials, died overnight in his sleep at his Malibu home. He was 80.
His family confirmed the news on social media.
After back-to-back All-America seasons at Illinois University, Butkus was picked No. 3 overall by his hometown Chicago Bears in 1965. A fearsome force on the field and rather gentle giant off of it, he spent his entire injury-shortened nine-season career with the club, redefining the linebacker position in the process.
Active from 1965-73, Butkus was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team for both the 1960s and ’70s and was selected for the All-Time NFL Team in 2000. A six-time All-NFL selection, two-time Defensive Player of the Year, he played in eight consecutive Pro Bowls and was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979 after retiring with 1,020 career tackles, 22 interceptions and 25 fumble recoveries.
He also was a color analyst for Bears radio and appeared on CBS‘ pregame show The NFL Today in the late 1980s.
“Dick was the ultimate Bear, and one of the greatest players in NFL history. He was Chicago’s son,” Bears chairman George H. McCaskey said in a statement (read it in full here). “He exuded what our great city is about and, not conicidentally, what George Halas looked for in a player: toughness, smarts, instincts, passion and leadership. He refused to accept anything less than the best from himself, or from his teammates. … His contributions to the game he loved will live forever.”
