Butkus was a middle linebacker for the Bears from 1965 to 1973. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1979.
"I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately," Butkus replied tongue-in-cheek when asked about his on-field reputation. "Unless it was, you know, important ... like a league game or something." Butkus inherited the middle linebacker job from Bill George, a Hall of Famer credited with popularizing the position in the NFL. In 1954, George abandoned his three-point stance in the middle of the defensive line and started each play several paces removed, a vantage point that allowed him to watch plays unfold and then race to the ball.
And he didn't always stop there. Several times Butkus crashed into ball carriers well past the sidelines. More than once he pursued them onto running tracks surrounding the field and even into the stands.Despite those efforts, the Bears lost plenty more games during his tenure than they won, going 48-74-4. Dealing with tendon problems that began in high school, Butkus suffered a serious injury to his right knee during the 1970 season and had preventive surgery before the next one.
