Following the conclusion of the NFL draft earlier this month, all of the Chicago Bears‘ rookies participated in rookie minicamp May 8-10. For many of Chicago’s rookies, it was their first chance to practice in months.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” said third-round pick Hroniss Grasu, per Larry Mayer of ChicagoBears.com. “I’ve been out of football for a long time. It feels like forever.”
Grasu was last on the field in early January when Oregon took on Ohio State in the national championship game, but the rookie center has turned the page and is focused on his new team.
“It’s a huge honor to be out there, a huge honor to wear Chicago Bears gear and be out here and play for such a great team,” Grasu said, per Mayer.
All of Chicago’s rookies are making the adjustment from college football to the NFL, and they will get the chance to compete alongside the team’s veterans when organized team activities (OTAs) resume on May 27.
So how have some of Chicago’s rookies looked so far this offseason? We explore that ahead as we take a look at some early rookie progress reports.
