Dick Butkus made watching defensive football fun because one never knew to what level of pure toughness Middle Linebacker Butkus would marshal his violent skills to strike fear in his opponents.

I will always remember Butkus as an influence in my desire to play defense, as well as offense, while faulting him for his sport teaching me that I would never be as talented, or as tough as this legend of a sport that demanded a physical specimen must play this sport with all one's heart and all one's soul.

Dick Butkus accomplished this; so many of the rest of us did not. Butkus was simply the man among all men when it came to the level of play necessary to be great, and remembered in the NFL's long history of great players.
