No one was ever better at middle linebacker. May Dick Butkus rest in peace.

Wow awsome footage. I remember watching game, bet all of it will surface at some point. Good play by Butkus, but got a taste of his own medicine from Yary !! 0:16

Butkus was the beggining of those hard hits of the 60s and 70s. Sadly, we rarely see those hits in todays NFL.

[@retromaven2159]

Yes! He was voted the most feared tackler of all-time by the NFL Network in 2009!

I heed the advice of the great P.T. Barnum,"Always Leave Them Wanting More!" 😁

I remember an episode of The 6 Million Dollar Man with Butkus bullying Larry Csonka during a game of pick up football in street clothes. Butkus tackled Csonka and then stepped on his head in the pile, and kept punking poor little Larry until Steve Austin got the playcall and stiff-armed and steamrolled Butkus to tears.

He had a hilarious role in the Disney movie Gus about a field goal-kicking mule!.
