Back to Their Roots with Dana Howard & Dick Butkus

We are joined today by former NFL Linebacker, University of Illinois alum, and former Dick Butkus Award winner, Dana Howard. Dana has played for a multitude of teams, such as the Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Rams, Chicago Bears, and the Philadelphia Eagles. In this episode, hosts Pete Hassen, Matt Butkus, and Matt Amendola ask Dana about how the linebacker position has changed overtime since his time playing, how it felt to be apart of the top linebacker group in the nation with the University of Illinois, and what he’s currently up to today. Dick Butkus also makes an appearance relating back to his university days in Illinois. He tells an intriguing story of when his former ex-marine/coach made the team do harsh conditioning drills.
