LAS VEGAS — All three former Bears up for the Hall of Fame will be announced as inductees Thursday at the NFL Honors, sources told the Sun-Times.

Legendary defensive tackle Steve “Mongo” McMichael finally will make it after nearly two decades of waiting, electric return man Devin Hester is getting in on his third try and nine-time Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers will join them.

Good for Mongo.

Seeing Hester and Peppers in there too is cool

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Awesome for Mongo!

Also cool for Hester, who I’m sure going in as a Bear, but I liked him a lot during his time in Atlanta as well. So happy for him

 

[Cwalker]

It’s crazy how electric Devin Hester was.

That Kickoff return to start the Super Bowl will go down in history

It's good that Mongo gets in while he's still alive. His ALS has progressed to the point where I don't even know if he'll even be able to make a speech or even leave the hospital, so giving this honor to him while he's alive is still a tremendous sign of respect.

I'm happy for Mongo he should of been given his flowers a long time ago in my opinion.

I’m not a Bears fan I am a Mongo fan via his WCW days
