Country strong Cody Whitehair figures to push for starting job

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- What does Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery, Eddie Goldman, Danieal Manning, Charles Tillman and Mike Brown have in common?

As former second-round picks, they all quickly ascended into starting roles, which is generally the expectation for every player selected that high.

Cody Whitehair is no different.

A decorated left tackle at Kansas State, Whitehair is projected to challenge for a permanent job at left guard for the Chicago Bears, and maybe, at center.
