Legendary Eagles linebacker Bill Bergey has died after a long battle with cancer, his son announced on social media. Bergey and Hall of Famer Chuck Bednarik are the only Eagles linebackers ever to make 1st-team All-Pro in consecutive years. Bergey was one of 60 nominees that the Pro Football Hall of Fame seniors committee considered this fall but didn’t advance to the next round. Bergey was inducted into the Eagles Hall of Fame in 2009. After he retired, Bergey did color on Eagles radio broadcasts and spent several years on Eagles pregame and postgame shows.
