Windy City Gridiron Publishes Three All-Time Chicago Bears Fantasy-Draft Teams
Using a 25-player, position-specific draft that 'transports' each player's skills to the modern era, the series will conclude with a reader vote once all eight teams are posted.
Overview
- Windy City Gridiron has published three of eight planned All-Time Historical Chicago Bears rosters so far, with entries released across June 25–27 that apply the series' shared draft rules.
- Each roster follows a fixed 25-player format with 11 offensive slots, 11 defensive slots, and three special-teams slots and treats each player's historical ability as if adapted to today’s game.
- Authors highlighted different roster philosophies in the published pieces, including era-focused selections (Sid Luckman, Bronko Nagurski), trench-and-identity choices (Bill George), and a special-teams emphasis that features Devin Hester as the primary returner.
- The site has posted a tournament bracket pairing the eight planned teams and says it will run a reader-voted tournament to determine the best draft once all teams are revealed.
- Beyond the matchups, the series aims to teach readers about Bears history by centering Hall of Famers and franchise standouts and it ties into broader fan engagement including a referenced charity partnership linked to the Gridiron Greats project.
