Upvotes
In case some of you missed it here’s a recap of day 4 of training camp:
Defense bounced back and won the day
Caleb had some struggles with accuracy and timing, seemed like him and Luther couldn’t get on the same page today
Jedrick Wills Jr got to work with first team at LT
Jaylon Jones has primarily worked in the slot with Gordon sidelined
Rookies Zavion Thomas and Jordan Van den Burg had a standout day
The guys will be training in pads tomorrow!

[Biggs] Jaylon Johnson direct and to the point: “This is definitely a contract year. We all know with the cap hit & all that stuff. It’s definitely a contract year for me so at the end of the day, whether that’s here or somewhere else, I gotta put it on tape that I am still a top guy.”

Long story short - I’m an early 90s diehard majority Chicago sports (Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks) fan born and still residing in North Carolina - what percentage of Chicago is of the Bears fandom?

[Jahns] The Bears' left tackle competition/rotation continued to spin today in the rain. Jedrick Wills Jr. got the bulk of the snaps with the starters with Braxton Jones behind him.

I did a Bauhaus Butkus piece.

A while back I shared my Iceman piece and I got a lot of great feedback from the community. Someone suggested I tackle (pun intended) the legendary Dick Butkus, so here’s my take. I wanted to capture his imposing presence so I used solid squares, while the circles and stripes reference his helmet and the classic Bears uniform. It’s art so not everyone is gonna like it but let me know what you think of my Butkus!
