goes it's Hester inside the 30 Hester's going to take it all the way for a touchdown and no flag 92 y brought to you by circus Sports Illinois the sickest Chicago Bears and fantasy football podcast Sports entertainment like no other it's gonna be sick and this one is doubly personally for me because he play for my fantasy team and my favorite team how's it been like playing for the Chicago Bears so far it's been amazing it's been amazing um loved it ever since I got here so uh taking a day by day um getting to training camp but it's been good man it's been good I always felt you were going to be one of the more sought-after agents what Drew you to the Chicago Bears in this situation um just how everything played out uh like it was the best fit for me um so I'm excited to be a Chicago Bear you went to Philadelphia a team that was you know had a lot of playoff expectations do you come to the Bears also feeling like there were playoff expectations here there a lot of expectations especially going into this season with everything as uh around the team UM quarterback that's a lot of talent around him um everything all the accusations that we got within free agency and then know I mean I feel like it's time for it rightfully so um just we working every single day to get better yeah what is it like you could there's opportunities for some people to be a oneperson show in a place but you're coming to a spot that has DJ Moore Keenan Allen obviously used a high draft pick on romad dun what has that been like being a part of this Ensemble that's amazing it's amazing you look to your left and to your right you got guys that can that I mean execute at a high level um on both sides of the ball defense is a phenomenal job of competing with us every single day so we making making each other better um it's been great it's been great to be a part of what about the running back room itself you got khil Herbert Roshan Johnson who was a draft pick last season we saw bis Jones getting out there what's that room like what's the dynamic there it's amazing real competitive um and that starts with with Chad and Jennifer how they execute and how they the message that they giving off as far as competition effort and everything that we need to do as as a running back group but and we tight man we tight we close and I feel like that's how you got to be and do you feel like you talked about Caleb Williams a moment ago do you feel like you kind of help him develop here as a quarterback now you played with Jaylen Herz last season a quarterback who was on his way do you see a lot of similarities with Caleb and you guys here to help push him along as far as similarities I Tred to stay away from like comparing guys he's his own person um but he's done a great job ever since he got in here just just the mentality that he brings every single day to urge to get better um the comfortability as you can see getting better every single day and um he's going we going to be as good as he take us last season you also played with a quarterback who had uh 15 rushing touchdowns and that that hurt me as a fantasy person uh what do you think do you think when you have a quarterback that gets that many carries you get kind of like hey like how about some for for your friend over here no not at all we winning that's all that matters I mean the more you able to do I any position um take a little bit off everybody else so when the quarterback is able to run a little dual threat um to his game it makes the whole team better yeah I mean it doesn't it doesn't help me but no no fantasy fantasy people it don't help I y'all probably don't like it but yeah it's good for the team I promise to never tweet you about anything like that I don't care listen this is again this is the selfish thing where it's like you're playing for the Bears as long as the Bears are winning we're all winning I can I'll I'll accept it um this just feels like a a fun atmosphere I know like this is your first season here but when you're out here in the crowd you've noticed I've noticed at least being here for multiple camps before like there feels there's a different vibe what's the vibe like here with all because the fans have been great it feels like there's a lot of enthusiasm and enthusiasm that we've actually earned that's what I said rightfully so I feel like the perfect time for it like I said I'm new here fans have been great fans Hing out the practices every single day just the enthusiasm energy that they bring we feed off of that I know Chicago is a real passionate the city as far as Sports go so um they got something to be excited about so we trying to I mean work every single day to give it to them you know and you've played for a rival uh at one point like is there something about that too like you know what I really want to go out like go up against my my former team because I saw David Montgomery last year we we used to come here we used to be friendly yeah last year not so much do you feel that when you get to play one of your former Rivals I really focused on it too much right now when the week come the week come I mean just another team on the schedule that's how I'm approach it all right well thank you so much for being here really appreciate your time good luck this season appreciate thank you for having me and that's a wrap
