Should former Bears center Jay Hilgenberg be in the Hall of Fame?

Former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this August, an honor well-deserved for one of the greatest players in franchise history.

But with Urlacher's induction comes a logical next question: Which Bears players, if any, deserve a bronze bust alongside him and the other 14 Chicago legends with gold jackets?

According to Bleacher Report's list of every team's best non-Hall-of-Famer, former center Jay Hilgenberg is the team's biggest snub.

This is a toss-up between two centers, both of whom might ultimately deserve love from Canton. Jay Hilgenberg went to seven consecutive Pro Bowls with the team in the 1980s and 1990s and was a key member of that 1985 Super Bowl team, while Olin Kreutz went to six straight Pro Bowls in the 2000s and was an All-Pro on that 2006 Super Bowl-losing team. 

Kreutz has an advantage when it comes to longevity with the franchise, but Hilgenberg's team actually won the Lombardi Trophy, and he has a 2-1 edge when it comes to All-Pro honors.

Hilgenberg was an all-timer for the Bears, but whether he'll ever have enough votes for enshrinement is a different story. It'll probably take a really long time to get there, if ever.

The player with the most potential to be the next Bears Hall-of-Famer is Devin Hester, arguably the greatest special teams player in the history of the NFL; his 19 career touchdown returns (18 with the Bears) is proof of that.

He'll be a fascinating case to study considering his one-dimensional career. That said, he was one of the most dazzling and spectacular players to ever don the Bears' navy and orange
