We all watch and enjoy football because we like the game, the team aspect, fantasy football, etc. However, we also like to connect with specific players. Call it childish – but it’s part of being a fan. One of my biggest issues with the 2014 Chicago Bears is that they were not a very “likable” team, making it very difficult to connect with the players.
With Charles Tillman, Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs all distant memories, it has become time to think about picking a player that we all feel a connection with. A favorite. It does not have to be the best player, just a player that you connect with.
