Kyle Long
Kyle Howard Long (born December 5, 1988) is an American former professional football guard who played in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons with the Chicago Bears. The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Howie Long and the younger brother of former defensive end Chris Long, he played college football for the Oregon Ducks following a stint with the Florida State Seminoles. He was selected by the Bears in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft.
During his Bears tenure, Long was named to three consecutive Pro Bowls and one second-team All-Pro. After retiring in 2019, he returned with the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2021 season, but did not play with them due to injuries. Long was named among the 100 greatest Bears of All-Time in 2019.
Long currently works as a in-studio analyst for the NFL on CBS coverage.
Long was born in Ivy, Virginia. He attended St. Anne's-Belfield School in Charlottesville, Virginia. He played both baseball and football. He was selected to the 2008 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. He was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 23rd round of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign and honored his commitment to Florida State University.
In January 2009, Long left Florida State for academic reasons following an arrest for DWI. In 2010, Long enrolled at Saddleback College, a community college in Mission Viejo, California, and returned to playing football. During his first year he played defensive end, recording 16 tackles and one quarterback sack. In 2011, he switched to the offensive line. On December 18, 2011, he committed to play for the Oregon Ducks football team, and subsequently transferred to the University of Oregon. During the 2012 season, he started six of twelve games for the Ducks on the offensive line. He appealed for an extra year of college eligibility, but his appeal was denied by the NCAA. On March 9, 2024, Long was inducted into the California Community College Football Coaches Hall of Fame.
Long was selected by the Chicago Bears with the 20th overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft. He was the first guard to be drafted by the team in the first round since Roger Davis in 1960. Long signed on May 17, the last member of Chicago's 2013 draft class to do so.
Long attended the rookie minicamp from May 10–12, but missed much of the offseason program due to a league rule prohibiting rookies from working out until their college class graduates. He returned to team activities on June 17. Long started the 2013 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals at right guard, becoming the first rookie in team history to start a season opener at the position in the Super Bowl era. On January 8, 2014, Long was named to Pro Football Focus' All-Rookie Team. He was subsequently named to NFL.com's All-Rookie Team on January 15. On January 20, 2014, he earned a spot in the 2014 Pro Bowl due to the injury of original Pro Bowl left guard Mike Iupati in the 2014 NFC Championship Game. Long became the first Bears rookie to make the Pro Bowl since Johnny Knox in 2009. He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team.
He made the Pro Bowl again following the 2014 season and was also named as a second-team All-Pro guard.
