1985 Chicago Bears: Where are they now?

You can probably remember at least one thing about some of the Chicago Bears who played on the 1985 team – Walter Payton, Mike Singletary, Kevin Butler and William “Refrigerator” Perry. But what happened to them and their coaches after they won Super Bowl XX on Jan. 26, 1986?

Some are enduring debilitating conditions as a result of injuries during their playing days. One has turned to medical marijuana to ease his lingering pain. Another has agreed to donate his brain to science after death. One became a doctor who specializes in treating patients in rehabilitation and has consulted on the care for his former teammates.
