One ton 'Butkus' pumpkin on display at Jack O'Lantern World

CHICAGO (CBS) -- An award-winning pumpkin named after a Chicago Bears legend is now on display at Jack O'Lantern World in Lake Zurich.

Over the weekend, 'Butkus'  took home the top prize at the U.S. National Pumpkin Weigh-Off, tipping the scales at a mind-boggling 2,170 lbs.

Its owner, Jim Ford, said he plans to carve the pumpkin with Jim Butkus' number 51 as a tribute to the late linebacker.
