After 13 seasons with the Bears, Brian Urlacher is walking off into the sunset:
“After spending a lot of time this spring thinking about my NFL future, I have made a decision to retire,” Urlacher said in a statement he posted on Twitter. “Although I could continue playing, I’m not sure I would bring a level of performance or passion that’s up to my standards. When considering this along with the fact I could retire after a 13-year career wearing only one jersey for such a storied franchise, my decision became pretty clear.”
I watched Brian, and another 54, Tedy Bruschi of the Patriots, for years. They were two of my favorite players to watch, and I believe every time they walked on the field, play after play, they were giving 110%.
Thanks for years of entertainment.
