    The 20 Biggest Baddest Bears of All Time; #15 George Musso

    No. 15 George Musso

    At 6’2”, 260 lbs, Musso was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, players of his era. Musso was a fearsome blocker on offense both as a pass-blocker and as a pulling guard. He was the team captain for nine years during the 1930s.


    His skills as a blocker and defender made teams completely alter their game plans, which was not as commonplace in the NFL as it is today.


    Musso is one of the Bears’ 27 players who have been enshrined in Canton.
    I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

    Musso was one of the reasons the Bears became known as "Monsters of the Midway". A 260lb player in the '30s was virtually unheard of when even the biggest of lineman seldom weighed more than 230lbs and many weighed even less than 200lbs.

    Imagine yourself as a 180-200lb LB or 160lb DB and seeing that freight train pulling around end lead blocking for a RB. In that era he'd have been the equivalent of a very athletic 350lb OG today.
