Guy Chamberlin

Hall of Famer Guy Chamberlin was a peerless defensive end, excellent rusher, and receiver from the University of Nebraska.  He played for the Staleys/Bears in 1920 and 1921.  His contributions to the 1921 championship were essential to the Bears’ success. Chamberlin, like George Halas was a player-coach for much of his playing career. He coached four NFL Championship Teams. Chamberlin was one of the very best athletes in the first decade of professional football.  Halas regretted not keeping Chamberlin in Chicago in 1922.  Chamberlin was an All-Pro. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1965.
