Top 10: Bears second round picks
Senior writer Larry Mayer ranks the top 10 second-round draft picks in Bears history, a list that includes both Devin Hester and Matt Forte.
The fullback played all 10 of his NFL seasons with the Bears, rushing for 2,946 yards and 20 touchdowns and catching 260 passes for 2,113 yards and five TDs.
Jeffery set a Bears record with 249 receiving yards in a 2013 game against the Vikings and is one of five receivers in team history with two 1,000-yard seasons.
Brown recorded 20 interceptions and seven defensive touchdowns, the second most in Bears history behind former teammate Charles Tillman.
Forte ranks second in Bears history behind Hall of Famer Walter Payton in several categories, including most rushing yards and receptions.
Petitbon was selected to four Pro Bowls and was voted first-team All-Pro in 1963 when he helped lead the Bears to the NFL championship.
The star fullback was selected to five Pro Bowls, led the NFL in rushing in 1956 and retired as the Bears' all-time leading rusher.
Tillman set Bears records with nine defensive touchdowns, eight interception return TDs and 675 interception return yards while also forcing 42 fumbles.
Considered by many to be the greatest return specialist in NFL history, Hester set a league record with 19 kick return TDs in eight seasons with the Bears.
The Hall of Famer was credited with inventing the middle linebacker position and was voted first-team All-Pro eight times.
The Hall of Fame middle linebacker was voted to a Bears-record 10 Pro Bowls and was a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
