[icon name=icon-star] BEST – The drinking stories about former Chicago Bears quarterback Kyle Orton are legendary, the pictures are even better. One time, Orton got so drunk he decided to grow a neck beard … true story.

You would drown your sorrows away too if Tim Tebow took your job as a quarterback, don’t judge him. Even though, most would agree Orton’s love for da booze came way before Denver.

Considering Chicago is a blue collar drinking town, it’s no surprise the Bears took a chance on him with the 106th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. Orton went on to play for Chicago from 2005-2008, he threw 30 touchdowns and 27 interceptions during his time as a member of the Bears. He’s also played for Denver, Kansas City, Dallas and Buffalo.

Interesting Stat: Jay Cutler threw 26 interceptions his first year with the Bears. Kyle Orton threw just 27 interceptions over a span of 33 games during his entire career with Chicago.

With as much as Orton likes to booze, he seems to keep himself out of trouble. He has been photographed quite a bit during his time in the various bars he’s frequented, and many ladies were always present.

(Note: Kyle Orton hasn’t sexually assaulted any women. Looking at you Roethlisberger.)

Don’t hate.
