    The 20 Biggest Baddest Bears of All Time; #14 Gary Fencik.............

    No. 14 Gary Fencik

    Gary Fencik may be one of the most underrated Chicago Bears players of all time, and it was tough to put him this low on the list. Some could argue he deserves to be higher up.


    Fencik was the Bears’ defensive captain throughout the 1980s, including the Super Bowl championship season. Team captains are voted on by players, so that shows you the level of respect his Bears teammates had for him.


    A wide receiver coming out of college, Fencik flipped to the other side of the ball and turned into a ball-hawking safety who could punish receivers and running backs.


    Fencik was a two-time All-Pro selection, as well as a two-time Pro Bowl selection. He retired as the Bears’ all-time leading tackler and the all-time leader in interceptions.
    I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

    The other half or the Bears legendary "Hitmen" Safety combo of the '80s. He may not have been as outright crazy as Doug Plank but he made a lot of WRs think twice about crossing the middle while he was back there.

    The first sentence is very true. He is one of the most underrated Bears defensive players of all time. One huge piece of evidence that would confirm that is that we have not had a FS of his caliber since he retired. Not even close.

    I see a lot of potential in Chris Conte and maybe he'll be the one to make me forget Gary Fencik but until one comes along who does the "Hitman" will always be at the top of my list as far as Bears FS are concerned.

    Plank is my 2nd alltime favorite player, we all KNOW who number one is, I just loved to wait and see him SPEAR players. Best pair of safeties I know of ever!
