Summary

With the Bears’ rookie minicamp around the corner, Ruthie Polinsky, Alex Shapiro, and Clay Harbor dive into exclusive interviews with the coaches who know the Bears’ top draft picks best. Clay sits down with Mizzou wide receivers coach Jacob Peeler to unpack the real story on Luther Burden III—his character, versatility, and how he’ll thrive in Ben Johnson’s offense. Then, Alex talks with Texas A&M defensive line coach Sean Spencer about Shemar Turner’s relentless motor, positional flexibility, and the “dog” mentality he’s bringing to Chicago. What did their college coaches reveal that fans don’t know yet? Tune in for all the behind-the-scenes insights.
