Goldman makes good first impression

Bears rookie defensive tackle Eddie Goldman impressed coach John Fox both on the field and in the classroom during the team’s recently-completed offseason program.

“He’s picking up the defense,” Fox said. “There are some movement things Ed knows that you have to know. Some of the closed call mechanics are different than these guys experienced in college. I like what I’ve seen. He’s working at it hard and he’s a big square body.”

The Bears selected Goldman in the second round of this year’s draft out of Florida State.
