For the fourth time in franchise history, the Bears — along with the Cleveland Browns — will coach in the 2017 Reese's Senior Bowl later this month.
It allows John Fox and his coaching staff to get an early look at the top prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft, which is important for a team that owns the No. 3 overall pick.
“We’re excited for this opportunity to get a hands-on look at some of the top draft-eligible players in the nation,” said Fox. “The Senior Bowl experience will provide our coaches and personnel staff an extended chance to evaluate these players in a one-on-one setting which could prove to be very valuable as we approach the NFL Draft.
