NFL legend Dick Butkus gives advice to UGA great Roquan Smith

Former Georgia star Roquan Smith looks to be next in the long line of great Chicago Bears linebackers.

The Bears and linebackers are two things that go together pretty well. Mike Singletary, Brian Urlacher, Dick Butkus…to name a few of the all-time greats that donned the franchise’s uniform.

Last week, Chicago honored 100 years of Bears history, where the franchise invited some of the team’s greats back to celebrate.

While at the Bears100 Celebration, Smith spent a lot of time with NFL legend Dick Butkus, one of the game’s greatest ever.

Smith was fortunate enough to soak up some advice from Butkus, who gave the second-year linebacker one simple tip.
