MOBILE, Ala. — The head start that Ryan Pace and John Fox are getting on knowing some of the top prospects for the 2017 NFL Draft is not lost on the Bears brass.
“We knew this would be a benefit coming down here. But being here full-fledged has been huge,” said Pace. “Being in the meetings, not just with our coaches but all our scouts have been in the meetings too, has been really good. Our coaches have done a good job kind of creating an environment where with the players, we’re getting them to talk more. So we’re really getting a good feel for their football intelligence.
