Who is fired up for the season???
RBs coach Charles London on rookie David Montgomery: “He’s very conscientious. He wants to do it right, wants to do it the way that we want it done, the way that it’s coached. He’s very diligent. He’s learning to be a pro and he’s doing good at it.”
WRs coach Mike Furrey on Allen Robinson: "He’s comfortable, and he’s confident in where he’s supposed to be. He looks healthy. Now we’ve just got to keep him going, keep him growing. He wants to grow. He’s trying to learn everything he possibly can.”
QBs coach Dave Ragone lauded Mitchell Trubisky for his growth, maturation and mentality, saying: "The things that you need as a quarterback to develop long-term at this level are things that he’s working on, constantly being reminded about and getting better at.”
ILBs coach Mark DeLeone on Danny Trevathan: “Anybody including myself that gets to be around Danny Trevathan every day gets a little bit better. I remember the very first day I met him when I got the job here, I think I had chills after I left. He’s just such an impressive guy."
OLBs coach Ted Monachino on Khalil Mack: "His attitude and his leadership skill translates to both sides of the ball, translates to the locker room, translates to special teams, and all of our guys look at him and look to him for that kind of leadership.”
DL coach Jay Rodgers on Akiem Hicks: “When he walks through the door the first time, immediately you know how big he is. What I didn’t understand watching the film was how athletic he was. ... He brings the nasty to the defense that nobody else does that I’ve been a part of."
