In a bold move just announced 30 minutes ago, Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles revealed a historic initiative that’s already generating major buzz across the NFL.
Poles shared plans to launch the “Bears Legends Initiative,” a franchise-wide program that will invite former Bears icons back to Halas Hall to mentor, motivate, and inspire the current roster ahead of the 2025 season.
🗣️ “This team was built on grit, legacy, and leadership. It’s time our young players hear that straight from the legends who lived it,” Poles said.
The program will feature appearances from some of the greatest to ever wear the navy and orange — Walter Payton’s family, Brian Urlacher, Mike Singletary, Richard Dent, Charles Tillman, Devin Hester, and more. From pregame speeches to sideline walkthroughs, every aspect of the team will feel the heartbeat of Bears history.
Poles believes this connection to the past will elevate the locker room culture and give leaders like Caleb Williams and DJ Moore a foundation to build upon.
With the NFL Draft days away and excitement rising, this announcement adds an emotional jolt to a team aiming to rise from rebuild to contender.
🔥 The message is clear: The Monsters of the Midway are not just back — they’re standing shoulder-to-shoulder across generations.
