This player was the most underrated linebacker for years!
Make no mistake about it, Lance Briggs is one of the greatest players in Bears' history. He was such an impactful player during his tenure in Chicago. He played his entire 12-year NFL career in Chicago from 2003 to 2014.
Let's look at his regular season stats during his career:
-7 Pro Bowls-170 starts in 173 games-1181 tackles-97 Tackles for loss-15 sacks-16 interceptions-18 forced fumbles.-6 career touchdowns
Briggs made 7 pro bowls and 2 all-pro selections.
Lance was, unfortunately for him, in the shadow of all-time great Brian Urlacher for most of his career. Briggs was still a very dominant defender for all of his career. The role he played was so crucial. He had an impact that went beyond the stats sheet or the achievements.
As we said, he was oftentimes overlooked for awards and nominations due to the spotlight that his teammate Urlacher was receiving. Lance was still amazing. Here is a little appreciation post in his honor:
