Joe Fortunato played his entire career with the Chicago Bears, the team that drafted him in the 7th Round in 1952.
While the Linebacker was chosen for the 1950's All-Decade Team, many of his accolades took place in the 1960s. Four of his five Pro Bowls came in the '60s, as did all three of his First Team All-Pro Selections. In regards to his team accomplishments, Fortunato was a vital component of the 1963 Bears Championship Team. He would record 16 Interceptions and recovered 22 Fumbles over his career, the latter of which was a record when he retired. Not too bad for a guy who looked undersized for his position!.
