Bears greats Steve McMichael, Devin Hester await Hall of Fame announcement

LAS VEGAS — The Bears are about to get an answer on two of their most anticipated Hall of Fame hopefuls.

Legendary defensive tackle Steve “Mongo” McMichael is expected to be announced as part of the upcoming induction class Thursday at the NFL Honors, and electric return man Devin Hester has a strong chance as well.

McMichael’s story has become a cherished cause for the Bears as he battles ALS. His wife Misty has been rallying support for his Hall of Fame candidacy since his diagnosis and was scheduled to fly into Las Vegas on Wednesday ahead of the awards show.
