| Urlacher, Olsen accept Piccolo Awards  LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher and tight end Greg Olsen were presented with 2007 Brian Piccolo Awards during a ceremony Thursday at Halas Hall. The prestigious honor has been given to a Bears rookie since 1970 and was expanded in 1992 to include a veteran as well. Bears players vote for the rookie and veteran who best exemplify the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor of the late Brian Piccolo, a Bears running back who died from embryonal cell carcinoma on June 16, 1970 at age 26. “Brian has been described as dedicated, loyal, a great teammate and a tough football player,” said coach Lovie Smith. “You can describe our award winners today in the same light.” Urlacher became the fifth Bears player to win the award as a rookie and a veteran. Last season he led the team in tackles for the seventh time in nine seasons with 158. Urlacher, Olsen humbled to receive Piccolo Awards - Chicago Bears
