After playing 139 career NFL games, receiver Keenan Allen knows a good defense when he sees one.
This week at Bears mandatory minicamp, he’s seen one.
“They look like a top-5 defense,” he said. “They sound like a top-5 defense, too.”
You hear the Bears’ veteran defense before you see it. Both mandatory minicamp practices this week have featured the constant chirping of safety Kevin Byard, cornerback Jaylon Johnson, defensive end Montez Sweat and others.
“Defenses are annoying,” Allen said. “Especially at practice.”
The energy — and the execution — has grabbed the attention of an offense trying to learn a new scheme.
