For the second consecutive spring, Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus brought Charles Tillman to Halas Hall to offer an orientation address in advance of the rookie minicamp.
Tillman, whose 13-season NFL career began 20 years ago as a wide-eyed, unproven rookie defensive back, made a point to emphasize the survival skills needed in this cutthroat world.
The first official practice for all 10 members of the Bears’ 2023 draft class began at 12:20 Friday afternoon in Lake Forest. It was a 2-hour, 62-player session that tested the rookies’ mentally in terms of their ability to absorb and apply information. The Bears have grand visions for what Wright can become as an offensive tackle. But every player has a starting point and checkpoints they need to clear. For Wright, Eberflus stressed that the next six weeks will be a runway that helps the promising rookie get ready for training camp, specifically as it relates to the playing style the Bears will demand.
