John Siegal, an end that was selected to three Pro Bowls and helped the Chicago Bears win three NFL titles in the 1940s, died this week at the age of 97.
He was the Bears’ oldest former player, per the team’s announcement.
Siegal played just five years in the NFL from 1939-43. However, it was plenty of time for Siegal to be named a Pro Bowler in three straight years from 1940-42 and win three championships in 1940, 1941 and 1943.
Siegal caught 31 passes for 637 yards and six touchdowns while appearing in 43 games with 16 starts.
