Chicago Bears: The five most-feared players in team history
By Cody Young
Olin Kreutz was one of the most dominant O-lineman in Chicago Bears history
Number 3: Olin Kreutz
Chicago Bears long-time center, Olin Kreutz was drafted in 1998 and played 14 total years in the league. 13 of those seasons were with the Bears, where he was one of the best centers in the league.
Not only was Kreutz a beast of a center but he is also a legit tough guy off the field, and someone I would never want any type of confrontation with. Kreutz played most of his career on some poor Bears teams of the 2000s. Unfortunately, he only made the playoffs four times in his 14-year career.
He played in seven playoff games over four different seasons and was a huge part of the 2006 Super Bowl team. Kreutz was also a long-time captain of the team and was a great leader on and off the field.
He’s also become a great analyst in his post-playing career. Many athletes struggle to make the transition but I feel that Kreutz has done a great job whether it be TV or radio. He seems to provide honest and thoughtful takes about the team which is quite refreshing to see.
