Meredith chasing dream with Bears

When Cameron Meredith was in middle school, he spent one memorable summer day at Olivet Nazarene University with his parents watching his favorite football team practice.

Nearly a decade later the Chicago area native hopes to see Bears training camp from a whole different perspective after signing with his hometown team as an undrafted free agent receiver.

Receiver Cameron Meredith runs through a drill during Bears Rookie Minicamp.

“I remember when I was 13 years old I went to my first training camp in Bourbonnais and I saw guys like Chris Harris and Rex [Grossman] was still there,” said Meredith, a 6-3, 207-pound converted quarterback who helped Illinois State reach the FCS championship game last season.
