Top seventh-rounders in Bears history

In the second of an eight-part series, we take a look at the most notable seventh-round draft picks in Bears history.

The Bears' 1963 NFL championship team featured four of the best seventh-round picks in franchise history in linebacker Joe Fortunato (1952), defensive back J.C. Caroline (1956), center Mike Pyle (1961) and defensive end Ed O'Bradovich (1962).

Fortunato was voted to five Pro Bowls in 12 seasons with the Bears from 1955-66. He was named to the NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1950s and selected as one of the top 300 players in NFL history.
