Matt Eberlfus talks about bringing in more Bears legend to practices and camps
A few weeks ago, Charles Tillman made an appearance at the Bears camp and talk to some of the rookies present. It was really inspiring and I absolutely loved the idea of bringing in a legend like Tillman to share his story with young players. Here is what he said to them:
Yesterday, HC Matt Eberflus brought in legendary S Gary Fencik. he is, in my mind, one of the most underrated Safety this game has ever seen. He was plain and simply great. In Chicago, Fencik was the team's defensive captain through the 1980s including the 1985 Super Bowl championship season. He made two Pro Bowl appearances (1980, 1981). He was also awarded a gold record and a platinum video award for the 1985 Super Bowl Shuffle. Fencik and Doug Plank were dubbed "The Hit Men", a fact referenced by Fencik in The Super Bowl Shuffle.
When asked about these appearances, here is what Eberflus responded with:
Again, I cannot stress enough how much I think this can be beneficial to the future and the culture of the team moving forward. Well done so far, coach Flus.
