Chicago Bears: Jimbo Covert and Ed Sprinkle inducted into the Hall of Fame

As the NFL celebrates its 100th season, so are the Chicago Bears. Unfortunately, their 100th season was not very memorable, but it seems that the Pro Football Hall of Fame wanted to give fans something to be happy about anyway as Jimbo Covert and Ed Sprinkle finally make the Hall of Fame.

With the 100th season celebration in full swing for the NFL, the Pro Football Hall of Fame decided to add 15 centennial members to the Hall this year. Out of those 15 are 10 senior candidates. Jimbo Covert and Ed Sprinkle were two of the names selected out of a group of 20 players who were considered qualified options.
