The entire Pro Football Hall of Fame family mourns the passing of Gale Sayers. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Ardie, and their entire family. We will forever keep his legacy alive to serve as inspiration for future generations. #HOFForever | @ChicagoBears
Bears’ legend and Hall-of-Fame running back Gale Sayers died Wednesday, the Hall of Fame confirmed. He was 77.
It is with great sadness the Chicago Bears mourn the loss of Bears Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers. Sayers amplified what it meant to be a Chicago Bear both on and off the field. He was regarded as an extraordinary teammate, leader, husband and father. He was 77.
Statement from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on he Passing of NFL Legend Gale Sayers: bit.ly/2ErHqPJ
"Give me 18 inches of daylight. That's all I need." One of the greatest to ever play the game. Rest in peace, Gale Sayers. (via @nflthrowback)
We lost an NFL legend in Gale Sayers: - Won Rookie of the Year in 1965 - Led NFL in rushing in 1966 & 1969 - Averaged 30.6 yards per kick return, most in NFL history - Last player to score 6 TD in a game - Inducted into Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977
On December 12, 1965, Gale Sayers arguably played the greatest game in NFL history (beat 49ers at Wrigley Field). He scored 6 TD, the average of which was 41 yards. 80-yard reception 21-yard rush 7-yard rush 50-yard rush 1-yard rush 85-yard punt return
Gale Sayers vs. the 49ers in 1965: - 4 rushing TD - 1 receiving TD - 1 punt return TD SIX total touchdowns is an NFL single-game record that still stands today. (🎥 @NFL)
"They accept me as a football star but not as a Negro." Gale Sayers': "final major gesture" as a college student: getting arrested at the University of Kansas in the name of racial justice. Rest in Power. (HT @loumoore12)
My father always told me: If you talk about running backs and don’t mention Gale Sayers, you don’t know what you’re taking about. RIP to a legend and all time great.
A generation of Bears fans mourn loss of a legend who was most exciting player on many bad teams. Another generation knows No. 40 only from old highlights. Everyone can agree Gale Sayers was epitome of grace, on and off field, one of best Bears ever, who'll be missed. RIP, Gale.
My heart is broken over the loss of my dear friend, Gale Sayers. Portraying Gale in Brian’s Song was a true honor and one of the nightlights of my career. He was an extraordinary human being with the the kindest heart. My sincerest condolences to his family 💔#RIPGaleSayers
Rest in peace to the 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭, Gale Sayers. One of the best and most impactful the game has ever seen. 1943-2020
Gale Sayers, the Chicago Bears running back who left would-be tacklers clutching at air during a short but brilliant career, is dead at 77. nyti.ms/32XJfxj
XXX 🎂🎉🎁 Every day on my birthday I do a yearly self-portrait and here is my quote going into my thirties: "The grass isn't greener on the other side, the grass is greener where you water it." 🌱💛
That's a shame. Even though I am not a Texas fan. Cedric Benson is a legend in the Panhandle of Texas. We will miss his athletic physical abilities on the field. We will solemnly hang are heads low in the panhandle today. As we have lost One of Great's. Thank you for the memories
