Goldman learning from reps, veterans

Thanks to daily practice reps and support from veteran teammates, rookie defensive lineman Eddie Goldman’s comfort level with the Bears is growing.

“I definitely feel a lot more comfortable,” said the second-round draft pick from Florida State. “Repetitions and the vets taking me under their wings and teaching me certain things about the game just allows me to play better and play faster.”

Rookie Eddie Goldman is congratulated by safety Brock Vereen after recovering a fumble in last Saturday night's preseason win over the Colts.

Goldman has leaned primarily on fellow defensive lineman Jeremiah Ratliff, a player the Bears rookie has tried to emulate since high school.
