Dick Butkus was ferocious but also had a sense of lightness and fun. Here he is with his wife Helen at a Halloween costume party as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell :)
This is from Dick’s 1997 autobiography, and as he proudly notes, they won the $5 first prize!

I took this photo of Dick Butkus just before the 2023 season kicked off. I remember wanting to get a better shot and angle but also felt intimidated by his presence so I decided not to follow him! I’ll always remember that and am glad I have this pic.

Best defensive football player ever.
Also the meanest, toughest SOB the game has ever seen. This video captures it all.

Without question, this is my favorite NFL Films Dick Butkus segment of them all
The best testimonials, the one I feel best captures the essence of the iconic #Bears middle linebacker
Worth your time

Last year before heading to Michigan to watch the #Illini almost sneak out a win in the Big House, my dad, brother and I stopped by Dick Butkus’ statue to make this video.

Never forget my 6th grade science teacher on the first day of school introducing himself and said he loved football and his favorite player was Dick Butkus. Everyone laughed and then he showed us highlights and we realized Dick Butkus was a real person and a monster. #RIPButkus

The man, the myth, a legend - #RIPButkus
Truly saddened by the passing of my football hero Dick Butkus.
You don't tug on Superman's Cape You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Butkus. RIP
Okay I won’t get jacked up about this but Eberflus defense gives up 20 points ,Fields throws 4 TDS ,Moore scores 3 TDS. Oh and if you lose at home to bears you’re done . Happy they won and sad my boy is gone #RIPButkus
@SkySportsNFL @Phoebe_Schecter won’t mean a lot to Brits generally. But for me this is one of the greatest sports photos of all time. @MikeBubbins #RIPButkus
My IOU sweatshirt says it all. Two legendary Bears and 8th grade me. RIP Mr. Butkus. @ChicagoBears #RIPButkus
It’s 1:10am on Friday and (this is a good thing) SportCenter is still talking about the loss of Dick Butkus. You were awesome bro. You will be missed for a long time. #RIPButkus
At least Dick Butkus will never have to endure the NFL officially putting flags on their Quarterbacks and banning all physical contact with them…
#RIPButkus
In the long, storied and glorious history of pro football, there has been no legend greater, no name more revered, no man more feared. Rest in peace, Dick Butkus, and thank you for leaving us all in awe every damn day of your life.
