Bears' first pick Gordon PUMPED to be back in full go!
The Bears selected CB Kyler Gordon with their first pick in this year's draft. Ever since he stepped foot in Hallas Hall, we have heard nothing but great things about him. He has reportedly been one of the best players in practice all off-season long.
Unfortunately, Gordon was sidelined with an injury last week and it forced him to miss the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. However, he was still very attentive during practice and he tried to learn as much as he could during his recovery.Gordon has made sure to split his time watching the nickel and outside cornerback positions as he's been learning both spots during camp.
"I just do a good job of like looking at the whole play and thinking about both assignments," Gordon said. "Then I'll see the formation and be like, 'OK, if I'm here this is what I do, if I'm here this is what I do.' Depending on different team periods, I'll lock in on say the nickel, I'll be conscious of both, but have the eyes of the nickel. And then the different period, I'll have eyes on the corner. That's just how I go about it."
However, Gordon is very glad to be back on the practice field with his teammates.
"I would just say I was itching to go be out there," Gordon said. "It just looked so fun, like, 'I wish I was playing right now,' just waiting to go out there. It was cool to see the players out, the people that I know, the people I used to watch in college and middle school, just be like, 'Damn, I'm here. It's time. I'm ready to do this stuff.' It's exciting."
