Safety Jaquan Brisker was one of the rare bright spots in a dreadful Bears 2023 season. But he's hungry for more and looking to grow his game in Year 2.
"I wouldn't say really too much, to be honest," Brisker said."I really wasn't happy."
Brisker had a great training camp last year, until a thumb injury knocked him out for several weeks. He made it back just in time for the Week 1 opener. Later in the season, a concussion sidelined him for two weeks. Brisker was one of general manager Ryan Poles' first draft picks. The Bears, who didn't have a first-round pick in 2022, selected cornerback Kyler Gordon with the 39th pick, then took Brisker at 48th overall.
"Last year Eddie had an outstanding training camp," Eberflus said."The leadership by example. We always say that's the first thing you have to do. Our best players have to be the hardest workers. And he didn't miss a day. And he was humming during training camp. Got himself into great physical shape, the best you can get into."
