Peanut retires

Class act on the field and off the field he will always be one of my favorite Bears, glad to have seen him play. The precision with which he punched the ball out was amazing the Peanut Punch will live on in our memories. Young players in the league and coming into the league should follow his example of a true professional, hard worker, smart player, great teammate, etc. And as great as he was as a player, he is and was an even better representative off the field. He did and no doubt will continue to do great things for whatever community he is in. Thank you Peanut for the memories, and the pleasure of watching you play for many years in Chicago. Enjoy your retirement, you've earned it.

One of my favorites. No one will actually give them credit for this, but you can add this to the already significant number of Bears veterans that everyone said the Bears would regret letting go, but who they actually let go at jus the right time (Urlacher, Briggs, Kreutz, etc.).

Thank you Peanut. In terms of playing the game the right way and being an amazing person off the field, you will always go down as an all time favorite, if not my all-time favorite. Thank you for all the amazing memories and I hope to see you involved in the organization and hope you enjoy retirement!!!

My opinion, he is very, very close. I would love to see him make it but I am not sure if the voters will put him in.

 

Peace :bringit

Borderline but probably won't get in. Not enough INTs as a CB. I believe he had more forced fumbles than INTs for his career. He definitely redefined the position with the Peanut Punch but not dominant enough for HoF.
