Matt Suhey, Bears Legend, Passes Away | Chicago Bears News

Chicago Bears legend Matt Suhey, the gritty fullback who paved the way for Walter Payton and helped lead the 1985 Super Bowl champs, passed away at 68 in his Deerfield home.

The Bears called him a tough, beloved teammate, while Payton’s son Jarrett remembered him as his father’s closest friend.
