Did Dick Butkus ever win a Super Bowl? How many sacks did Dick Butkus have?

Dick Butkus was never a Super Bowl winner. From 1965 until 1973, he was a member of the Chicago Bears, but during that time the team did not reach the postseason.

It is difficult to know for sure how many sacks Butkus has in his career because the NFL did not begin keeping count of them until 1982. The most sacks of any player in the NFL that year would have been his 18 in the 1967 campaign, which is the estimate.

Many people agree that Butkus is among the all-time best linebackers. He was a five-time All-Pro, two-time Defensive Player of the Year and eight-time Pro Bowler. In 1979, he was admitted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
