Regarding Cole Nelson (who had a couple of different numbers in that clip; 17 and I think 25 and 26), I'm actually curious who the guy was the other side was, #52.
Thats "APR" - Antwuan Powell-Ryland who I was hoping the Bears would pick in the 4th and every pick after that. Yet, he wasn't selected until late in the 6th round after our pick. He was considered undersize, but tou can't teach the type of production he had. 16 sacks this past year and 9.5 the year before. He has a way for knowing where the QB is and making a play. That is natural instinct and learned experience. Wish we would have given him a chance. I was very underwhelmed with out approach at fixing the DL this draft.

Man that dude is going to make an impact. A lot of Nelson's plays were made as a result of the QB fleeing from Powell-Ryland.

Bro... That thing is embarrassing. There has got to be a better way than that damn bobble head. If not we may as well cancel all combat sports and start watching more curling or cricket.
You did a lot of combat sports growing up? Concussed a few times playing youth soccer and swimming?

Wrestling, football, and Chicago public schools... zero concussions and bobblehead free.

If it prevents more concussions then by all means wear the guardian cap.

Looking like The Great Gazoo is a small price to pay for quality of life.
You're right of course.

Of course you didn't get any concussions playing CPL football. That's barely Pop Warner level. :D

Yeah he seemed to be making as many or more plays on the QB then Nelson was.
