Gary Fencik grew up just outside of Chicago in Barrington, Illinois. He played college football at Yale University in the wide receiver position, catching 86 passes for 1,436 yards and 7 touchdowns from 1973 to 1975. In this episode, our host, Matt Butkus, talks with Gary about his unique journey to the NFL being drafted by the Miami Dolphins originally, how the idea of the Iconic Super Bowl Shuffle came to fruition, and Gary’s advice he gives to former athletes looking for their next career path after football from the NFL. Gary Fencik was drafted in the 10th round in the 1976 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins. With Miami transitioning him to defensive back, Gary faced a ruptured lung and was released from the Dolphins and sent back to Chicago where the Bears would eventually pick him up on the roster. Two-time Pro Bowl selection, a two-time All-Pro selection, and an 85’ Super Bowl Champion later. Gary is on the list of the 100 Greatest Bears of All-Time.
