The NFL world reacted with sadness to the news that Bears legend Dick Butkus died at 80 years old on Thursday.
Many across the sport paid tribute to the Pro Football Hall of Famer.
“Dick Butkus wasn’t just one of the greatest football players to ever play the game, he was a remarkable man,” wrote Jarrett Payton, the son of NFL legend Walter Payton, on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“He was always there for me when I needed him. Now, these 3 #Bears legends are in heaven, sharing a drink, getting ready to watch the #TNF game from the best seats. Here’s to you, @thedickbutkus. Your spirit will live on forever.”
Another great Bears linebacker, Brian Urlacher, shared similar sentiments on Instagram.
