Ryan McPartlin Instagram – Dick Butkus turned the game of football into a battle of wills and test of manhood! 🏈💪 He retired before I was born but every Illinois kid that played football knew they’d be judged against the standard that Dick set!!! Butkus defined what it means to be a hard nosed, ferocious, Chicago-born, Illinois-bred football player that bleeds Illini orange and blue!!!
🧡💙
My heart goes out to our friends Josh, Luke, Matt and the entire Butkus family! Loved tailgating with Dick and your family at @illinifootball games and getting to see him at golf outings in LA. His legacy echos into eternity!!!
