Jimbo Covert was the leader of the offensive line of one of the greatest teams of all time, the 1985 Chicago Bears.

I received an email response from a man who would soon be named one of the inductees to the 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame Centennial Class, Jim Covert. Known to Chicago as “Jimbo”, Mr. Covert was a 1980s All-Decade Team member who blocked for Walter Payton, with their work combining for the Bears to lead the league in rushing four seasons.
