Legendary player.
Then he used his NIL to become a legendary TV pitchman, like Miller Lite commercials with Bubba Smith:

Another Butkus NIL example (one of a great many):
Without a doubt, one of the toughest and hardest hitting middle linebackers that ever lived.

Dick Butkus was a badass. Back when the Chicago Bears were mostly badasses! RIPMitch Blood Green said:

Sucks that they were on such shiddy teams, I don't think either ever even made they playoffs and both careers ended early due to knee injuries.

My dad thought Sayers was the best back he ever saw. And Butkus was our (Bears) standard bearer.
RIP #51. Most intimidating player ever to play in the NFL.
Bears seem to be playing inspired. Up 27 -3 on Washington.
Such a loss.

The hardest hitter I've ever seen play the game. He didn't just hit guys, he cracked them. Pure violence and intimidation. He'll always be known for that but did you know he led all linebackers in interceptions one year? He also led the league in fumble recoveries multiple times. He was always around the ball.
He also had chronic knee pain early in his career and was told by doctors he needed to retire.
He played for another 4 seasons.
He's one of the best players you don't hear talked about enough. He's also someone that unfortunately couldn't even play by today's standards and rules that protect offensive players. His time in the NFL was where only the tough survived. He was as tough as any player who ever played the game and played the game the right way.
Thank you Dick Butkus.

Correct on both counts.
