Jerry Angelo – 2003 Draft
Hatley’s replacement though comes more along the lines of “close but no cigar.” His 2003 class could’ve challenged the 1983 group for being the best ever in Chicago history. Charles Tillman became the greatest corner the Bears have ever had, picking off 38 passes. Lance Briggs is a seven-time Pro Bowler. Sadly Angelo got off to a slow start by taking Michael Hayes and Rex Grossman in the first round. It seems fitting then that the class propelled the team to Super Bowl XLI, where they fell just short.
