Summary

Rookie Minicamp is here, and The Charter team is ready to hit Halas Hall. Ruthie Polinsky, Alex Shapiro, and Clay Harbor preview what to watch for as Bears rookies take the field for the first time. Clay shares what his own rookie minicamp with the Eagles was really like, including learning a brand-new playbook on the fly, catching lasers from Michael Vick, and earning trust through football IQ. Plus: who has the most to prove, which undrafted guys could rise, and why coaching matters just as much as the reps.
