Au revoir, Akiem Hicks

Some NFL players seem like they were born to play for a specific team. That was stalwart veteran Akiem Hicks and the Bears over the last half-decade plus.

With Hicks and the Bears likely on a course toward a separation — after six years — during this coming off-season, the Windy City Gridiron staff felt it appropriate to wax poetic about one of the best and more underappreciated men ever to wear the GSH on the sleeves of his jersey. I already shared my thoughts on what this mammoth man meant to a franchise that couldn’t entirely return all he gave them.
