<b>Clyde "Bulldog" Turner – </b>For the Bears, acquiring Turner proved to be a masterstroke. The 1940 season marked the beginning of a period of dominance for both, the Bears in winning championships and Turner becoming the best all-round center in pro football. On offense, he was a flawless snapper and an exceptional blocker who could also play guard or tackle. Never was his versatility more evident than in 1944 when he was asked to fill in as a ball carrier in an emergency situation. He consistently ground out long gains, including a 48-yard touchdown romp.
