Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery stressed the importance of silence and humility for rookies as they prepare for training camp. ‘(It’s) kind of like Brian Urlacher said: ‘Be quiet, be humble.’ Work. Work,’ Emery said. ‘Find a way to contribute to the team whether that’s on special teams, or as a role player as a pass rusher; whether that’s a role player or a first- and second-down player. Whatever that role is, being a great practice player, being a guy that busts everybody else’s but – work ethic, attitude – and showing us those skills that we drafted and that they contribute towards our goals in a positive way.’
