Ex-Rutgers fullback Michael Burton settling in with Bears after Lions release

LONG VALLEY -- The kid must have a hook-up inside the NFL's online store.

One of the 100-plus campers Saturday at former Rutgers fullback Michael Burton's second 'Mike's Knights Football Camp' was decked out in a Burton No. 46 Bears jersey. That in of itself wasn't a surprise - the camp is held at West Morris Central High in Burton's hometown - but it's a little quick. Burton only became a Bear a few weeks ago after being waived by the Lions, who he spent his first two seasons with.
