The new cornerback in Matt Eberflus’ defense says his time as a dance helps him both mentally and physically.
That background will help Gordon in Matt Eberflus’ defense, as it’s been noted many times how much he demands from his players. In a hustle oriented program, Eberflus expects players to run hard and focus intensely on every single rep. That can be tiring both mentally and physically.
Going back to how the dance helps Gordon on the field, Bears scout Francis St. Paul says the ballet background shows up on tape. “You see in his balance,” said St. Paul. “You see it in his change of direction. He ran a 6.67 three-cone, and the most impressive part about it, he was stumbling and pulled out of that stumble and to finish with that time, which if he didn’t stumble that time would have been amazing.”
It won’t take long for Gordon to show off his smooth moves at Halas Hall. Rookie minicamp begins May 6.
