Gale Sayers, also known as "The Kansas Comet", was a professional football player who spent his entire career with the Chicago Bears. Gale Sayers was drafted by the Bears and the Kansas City Chiefs of the AFL, but signed with Chicago. In his rookie year, he scored an NFL record 22 touchdowns (14 rushing, 6 receiving, and 1 each on punt and kickoff returns). Sayers retired from football in 1971. In 1977, Sayers was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and is still the youngest inductee in the Hall's history. In 1994, the Bears retired his number 40 at Soldier Field, along with the number 51 of his teammate, legendary linebacker Dick Butkus. In 1999, despite the brevity of his career, he was ranked #21 on The Sporting News's list of the 100 Greatest Football Players. Sayers' records include most touchdowns in a rookie season (22 in 1965), most touchdowns in a game (6, tied with Ernie Nevers and Dub Jones), highest career kickoff return average (30.56), most kickoff return touchdowns (6, tied with four other players) and most return touchdowns in a game (2, tied with many players).
