NFL Immaculate Grid for August 27: The other player to have played for both the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions

As a quarterback, Greg Landry also competed for the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions in the NFL.

Landry's NFL career lasted from 1968 to 1984. He was a member of the Baltimore Colts as well.

During his stint in Detroit, Landry set a number of passing milestones and was selected for the Pro Bowl in 1971. With approximately 2600 yards and 21 scores in his career, he was also a strong runner. He received the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in 1976.

In many respects, Landry served as the model quarterback for what NFL teams are currently seeking. He was a pocket passer who could run away from a sea of competitors.

Landry entered the coaching ranks after his playing career, first in 1985 with the Cleveland Browns before moving on to the Bears where he served as the offensive coordinator from 1988 to 1992.
