We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Steve “Mongo” McMichael, a true legend on and off the field. A Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion, and beloved Bears icon, Mongo’s toughness, passion, and heart left an indelible mark on the game—and on all who had the honor of watching or knowing him. Beyond football, Steve was a fierce and compassionate advocate for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, using his voice and platform to champion families and fight for a cure. His strength in the face of ALS inspired many and reminded us all of the power of perseverance and purpose. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the entire Chicago Bears and MDA communities during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Mongo. Your legacy lives on.
