Seven is often seen as a lucky number and so it has proved for Richard Dent after he was elected to the Hall of Fame last night.
On the 6 previous occasions that he had been a finalist Dent had been stopped at the final hurdle.
An 8th round draft pick in 1983, Richard Dent spent 12 seasons with the Bears registering over 120 sacks and was the MVP of Super Bowl XX.
Dent is the 27th member of the Chicago Bears elected to Canton.
