Bears Hall of Famer Mike Ditka Game Day Socks

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS  Mike Ditka, the top draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 1961, introduced a new dimension to the tight end position that once was viewed primarily as an assignment for a tough, talented blocker. At the time of his retirement after the 1972 season, he ranked second among all tight ends in receptions. Nicknamed “Iron Mike”, Ditka proved to be a superior blocker, but he also became one of the first tight ends to catch a large number of passes. In 1967, Ditka was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. An injury in the second game that year aborted his consecutive-game streak at 86. Ditka moved on to the Dallas Cowboys in 1969, where he regained much of his old form. His best campaign there was in 1971 when the Cowboys won their first Super Bowl championship.   G Att Yds Avg TD Career Total 158 427 5,812 13.6 43   PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  Celebrate football’s all-time greats with our Pro Football Hall of Fame licensed Game Day Socks®.
