Former Bengal 1969 draftee and Pro-Bowler & HOF LB Bill Bergey passed today, after a battle with cancer. He was 79.
Although the he was traded to the Eagles in 1974, and shined more brightly there (4 pro bowls, 2 all-pro teams), I still consider him a Bengal great in many ways, even though he went in as more an Eagle.
RIP Bill.
