Brian Dale Baschnagel (born January 8, 1954) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
NFL
Baschnagel was selected by the Chicago Bears in the third round of the 1976 NFL draft. He wore jersey #47 in his rookie year, which he began as a defensive back, and #84 the remainder of his career with the Bears after moving back to receiver.[1] Contrary to popular belief, Baschnagel was not on the active roster in 1985 when the Bears went 18–1 en route to a Super Bowl victory.[2] He injured his knee in training camp and spent the entire 1985 season on IR. However, he did travel with the team that year, assisted the coaches from the coaching booth, and helped in practice after he recovered from his injury. He received a Super Bowl ring after the Bears' dominant Super Bowl XX win.[3]
Personal life
In 2013, it was announced that Baschnagel would be inducted into the West Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame.[4]
