Dana Howard, J Leman, Danny Clark, John Holecek, Darrick Bronlow and Jake Hansen all have something in common.
They are all past and present linebackers at Illinois, filling up the legacy created by Dick Butkus in the 1960s.
But what separates that crew of linebackers from Butkus?
Only one now has a statue in Champaign, commemorating his legacy at Illinois and as one of the behemoths of college football.
Butkus tormented offenses that Illinois played in the early 1960s, and kept that up in the NFL for the Chicago Bears. The eight-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro selection was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton in 1979.
