95... Done. Im a LITTLE nervous about keeping it up this weekend with the trip to Amherst. One never knows about the facilities... and it will be COLD up there. Back to 95. This one was easy. Richard Dent, the renowned Chicago Bears defensive end, is the best professional athlete to ever wear the jersey number 95. Although Dent made his professional mark with the Chicago Bears (spanning the years 1983 to 1993, and then again in 1995) he also played football for the 49ers (1994,) Colts (1996,) and Eagles (1997.) It isnt extremely often that an eigth round draft pick goes on to become one of the best athletes to ever play their position professionally. In Dents case, it happened. Dent was a four time pro-bowler (1985, 1986, 1991 and 1994.) He also has the honor of being the MVP of Super Bowl XX held in 1986 (for the 1985 NFL season.) When Richard Dent retired after the 1997 season, his 137.5 sacks for his NFL career was third overall behind the legendary Reggie White and Bruce Smith. For five consecutive years during Dents NFL career, he logged double-digit sack totals (1984-1988.) This was part of a span of ten years where Dent had double-digit sacks in eight of those ten years. Dent also recorded 4.5 sacks in a game twice (in 1984 and 1987, both against the Los Angeles Raiders.)
