The legendary sportsman Lance Briggs is a former professional American football linebacker who spent his entire 12-year NFL career playing for the Chicago Bears. He is a 7x Pro Bowl, 2x Second-team All-Pro, a First-team All-Pro, and is regarded as one of the 100 Greatest Bears of All-Time.

Born and raised in Sacramento, California, Briggs was a natural sportsman throughout his High School years. He then attended the University of Arizona, and while there he was a 2x First-team All-Pac 10 Conference selection as a linebacker. He turned professional when he was selected by the Chicago Bears in the 2003 NFL draft, signing a four-year $2 million dollar contract. He was re-signed to a six-year, $36 million contract in 2008. He was placed on the injury reserve list after the 2014 season, and finally retired from the game in September 2015. He had a hugely successful time with the Bears, becoming a 7x Pro Bowl (2005-2011), First-team All-Pro 2005, Second-team All-Pro 2006, and 2009, and was also named to the 100 Greatest Bears of All-Time. After retiring from the game he started working as a Bears analyst for NBC Sports Chicago.
