- With a name like Bronko
- Nagurski, this guy had to
- be tough ... and he was.
- Bronko was one of the
- most feared players in
- football history. He starred on offense and
- defense for the Chicago Bears, and he was
- among the first players elected to the Pro
- Football Hall of Fame, in 1963. For a time, he
- teamed in the Bear backfield with fellow Hall
- of Famer Red Grange.
-
- As a fullback for the Bears, Bronko was so
- strong, it was said, that he didnΓÇÖt need any
- blockers. He could fend off tacklers all by
- himself! But he was also famous for a play
- in which he would fake a run up the
- middle, then step back and pass the
- ball. On defense, he played linebacker.
