Before tackles were an official stat he was credited with over 200 in one 14 game NFL season.
In the mid 70's there was no free agency, so draft picks were even more valuable than they are today. The Eagles still gave us two first round picks plus a second rounder for Bergey.
For a while he was the highest paid defensive player in the league.
Bergey was a freakin' stud.
