No team in the NFL has a more storied history of linebackers than the Chicago Bears.

Former NFL executive Gil Brandt ranked the Top 46 linebackers of all time for NFL.com, and seven former Bears all made the cut.

In his eyes, Chicago has produced 13 percent of the NFL’s best at the position.

Dick Butkus lead the pack ranked at No. 3, followed by Bill George at No. 7, Mike Singletary at No. 16 and Brian Urlacher at No. 19.

A pair of old-time NFL greats rounded out the Bears’ linebackers on the list with George Connor ranked 27th and Joe Fortunato ranked 38th.

Fortunato is the only one of the group not voted in to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, despite being named to the NFL’s All-Decade team for the 1950s.

The two linebackers ranked ahead of Butkus on the list are Derrick Thomas from the Kansas City Chiefs and Lawrence Taylor from the New York Giants, both of whom played outside linebacker rather than in the middle.
