«He's been really good, really good,» Eberflus said Thursday at Halas Hall after the Bear wrapped up mandatory minicamp. «In fact, I was just talking to [defensive coordinator] Alan Williams about him on the field, and we're just so thrilled with his talent, you know, with his mental makeup and just the person he is and where he is in his development so far up until this point.
«He's picking up the defense,» Eberflus said later. «He's picking up the defense, he's communicating with others. He's right on pace there, so we're excited for him.»
