Welcome to the Bears podcast, the NFL Scouting Combine edition, coming to you from Indianapolis, the Apples Convention Center, as all the teams and all the prospects convene here.

Chris Bowden alongside our CSNChfegovga.com Bears John Moon Moan. Also, J.J. Stankovic,

joining the Bears beat from the Notre Dame beat as well. We'll also hear from Matt Bowen a little
