Bears' first draft pick training with multiple NFL stars!
It has been a growing trend lately in the NFL for players to spend their training part of the off-season with players from all around the league. Usually, players tend to work out with other NFL guys from their hometown.
Well, it looks like this young Bears player is following the trend.
Indeed, Daniel Greenberg reported that Chicago Bears rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon has been training this offseason with linebacker Bobby Wagner, defensive lineman Austin Johnson, linebacker Lakiem Williams, running back Boston Scott, defensive lineman Poona Ford, and tight end Hunter Bryant.
Here are a few highlights from the young stud:
Gordon is a true athletic freak at the cornerback position. I believe this will allow for him to have a smooth transition to the NFL.
Here is NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein's description of Gordon:
"Cornerback who comes with an elite, high-performance engine but a GPS still in the process of loading. Gordon's dynamic athletic qualities will show up in testing, but more importantly, they are all over his tape. His blend of play strength and explosive burst affects the passing game from press, off-man and zone coverages. He plays with an alpha demeanor and hitting is definitely part of his overall package. Gordon lacks polish and needs to play with better route recognition and anticipation, but if those elements click, his ball production could be near the top of the league as one of the top playmakers in the game."
