BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- Chicago Bears outside linebacker Khalil Mack’s debut season in Chicago was a smash hit without the benefit of a single training camp practice.
On Thursday, Mack, acquired via trade from Oakland prior to Week 1 last year, stepped foot on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University in downstate Bourbonnais, Illinois -- the site of Bears training camp since 2002 -- for the first time.
“[My teammates] told me I’m going to love [Bourbonnais],” Mack said. “Everybody told me yeah, you’re going to love it. I don’t know if it’s sarcastic or not, but I’m looking forward to it.
