Bears safety Jaquan Brisker has been a young man in a hurry since he stepped on the practice field at Halas Hall for rookie mini-camp as a second-round draft pick in 2021.
He started Week 1 of his rookie season. He recovered a fumble six plays in his first game in the NFL. Led the Bears in sacks as a rookie. And followed that up with a solid second season in which he assumed a vocal leadership role — not only in the secondary and the defense, but with the entire team.
Entering his third NFL season, the 25-year-old Brisker is eager to make the next step a big one.
