Brian Urlacher on 2000s Bears, Rodgers/Favre Rivalry & Jay Cutler

In Episode 2 of Glory Daze, Johnny Manziel sits down with NFL Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher to talk about his journey from the University of New Mexico to becoming the heart of the Chicago Bears defense. Urlacher breaks down how he made it to the league, what it was like playing in a tough Bears locker room alongside Jay Cutler, Lance Briggs, Devin Hester, playing for Lovie Smith, and what it took to lead the team all the way to Super Bowl XLI. He also talks about facing off against division legends like Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, and how those rivalries with the Packers shaped his career. Plus, Brian opens up about his son following in his footsteps as he heads to play college football — and he and Johnny dig into how much the game has changed with NIL and the new era of college athletes getting paid.
