LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Eighteen-year-old cancer survivor Kate Miller is technically the person responsible for introducing Chicago to Bears second-round pick Adam Shaheen.
Miller, who resides in Rockford, Illinois, attended last spring’s draft in Philadelphia where she went on stage with former Bears center Jay Hilgenberg and announced the Shaheen choice on live television.
Most Bears fans had probably never heard of Shaheen, who played at Division II Ashland University, prior to draft weekend.
