His most frequent player comparison was Kareem Hunt, and Hunt was a Pro Bowler as a rookie in a similar system with the Chiefs in 2017. Montgomery, a two time All Big 12 selection, had nearly three thousand rushing yards in his three year collegiate career with 26 touchdowns and 71 receptions. But it was more than just his tape that had the Bears excited, as he was lauded for his work ethic and leadership for the Cyclones. The more we, as fans http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-brian-urlacher-jersey , got to learn about his background and the type of person he was, the more we saw a guy that was going to be an easy fit in the close-knit Bears’ locker room. On Tuesday, June 25, Montgomery was named this year’s (2018-19) recipient of the Big 12 Male Sportsperson of the Year Award. The award is given to “student-athletes who displayed an extraordinary degree of sportsmanship and/or community service within the conference.” “The impact David had on the Iowa State football program, the University and to our great community is impossible to quantify,” Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell said via cyclones.com. “He will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the all-time greats to wear the Cardinal and Gold, but his legacy will extend far beyond the field. He truly led the culture change within our walls.”Montgomery signed his rookie contract on June 14, and he’s setto report to training camp with the other Chicago rookies on July 22. LAKE FOREST Womens Leonard Floyd Jersey , Ill. (AP)Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky can see a huge difference after only three days running new coach Matt Nagy’s offense.There’s more to it than just the system for Trubisky, as the Bears ended their first minicamp under Nagy on Thursday with a greater knowledge of an offense they hope eventually elevates them from the depths of the NFC North.”Just having a bunch of brilliant offensive minds around me, I’m just getting a lot of information,” Trubisky said. ”I’m trying to be a sponge, and it’s been a lot of fun working with those guys and learning as much as I can these last three days.”It all caused Trubisky to remark: ”I feel like these last three days, I’ve been coached more than I ever have.”The Bears finished 30th on offense and have been ranked in the bottom half of NFL offenses three of the past four seasons. Coach John Fox was fired after going 5-11 in his third season, with Trubisky starting the final 12 games of his rookie year.Now Trubisky learns from Nagy, who brought along a reputation for offensive innovation after serving as Kansas City offensive coordinator under coach Andy Reid.”They do a great job teaching it Eric Kush Jersey , and it’s not only me – all the other positions know the whys of the offense so everybody will be on the same page,” Trubisky said. ”We’ll all have answers and we’ll be able to click as an offense because everybody knows our jobs and what we’re looking for.”With wide receiver Allen Robinson missing all of minicamp recovering from last year’s torn ACL, Trubisky threw extensively to wide receivers Kevin White, Bennie Fowler and Taylor Gabriel, and new tight end Trey Burton.Trubisky felt comfortable running an offense emphasizing run-pass options, largely because he ran something similar in college at North Carolina.”You’ve got the RPO game, the play-action, the quick dropback http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-roquan-smith-jersey , getting the ball out quick, stuff I’ve done in my past from high school to North Carolina,” Trubisky said. ”And then you’ve got the West Coast, pro-style concepts grooved in with that.”So I feel like this offense is going to utilize my talents and use what comes natural to me.”Trubisky is as impressed with the new head coach personally as with his offense.”Just every day you can feel the excitement and the energy he brings and you can hear the passion in his voice and how he talks about things,” Trubisky said. ”I get a really genuine feel when I’m around him. He’s very authentic. He’s real.”Nagy was no less complimentary describing what he saw from his new quarterback. The two had built a bit of a relationship during the lead-up to the 2017 draft, when Kansas City weighed taking Trubisky.”I would say that the biggest thing is probably just his immense focus,” Nagy said. ”He’s very focused.”Nagy called focus important for Trubisky because rising expectations can lead to distractions.”So if you start worrying about expectations other than what your coaches want, you’re in trouble Womens Eddie Goldman Jersey ,” Nagy said. ”And so he’s just got to understand just come to practice every day, be a leader, lead these guys, and sometimes that’s hard.”You come in last year as a rookie and you’re asked to lead guys that’s hard deal sometimes. Now it’s year 2, it’s time to make the next step.”NOTES: Outside linebacker Aaron Lynch suffered an ankle sprain on the second day of minicamp, but Nagy said it shouldn’t cost him much practice time. Lynch began camp lined up with starters because outside linebacker Leonard Floyd is still rehabbing after a knee injury last year. … Linebacker Danny Trevathan was at Halas Hall, but didn’t practice after missing the start of minicamp for personal reasons.—
