Former Bear Willie Gault still fast

The Bears could use some speed on their offense, how about someone eligible for AARP membership?

Remember the 1980s? The decade of loud fashion, big hair, cocaine and dominant Chicago Bears teams?

I don't, because I was born in '87, but many of you do, I'm sure.

One of the members of several of those dominant Chicago Bears teams was Willie Gault.

Gault was drafted by the Bears in the 1983 draft with the 18th overall pick out of the University of Tennessee. While Gault's college numbers were hardly eye-popping, he averaged over 16 yards per reception and was a great kick return specialist.
