After getting 'tortured' during his first season playing cornerback in high school, Tyrique Stevenson vowed he would become one of the best corners in the country. That resilient and ambitious mindset now has him as a Week 1 rookie starter for the Chicago Bears.
Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson celebrates after his interception in the first quarter of a preseason game against the Bills on Aug. 26 at Soldier Field.
Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson tackles Titans running back Tyjae Spears in the first quarter of a preseason game on Aug. 12 at Soldier Field. “I was just following his hips and once he broke out, I made sure to undercut it, touch his hip and look back for the ball,” Stevenson said. “People were sending my mom some of the Twitter comments, and she brought those to my attention,” Stevenson said. “I was just like, ‘I really don’t worry about it. At all. I look at every day as a chance to compete and get better myself.’
Added Gordon: “I like having talkative players on our team, guys who are confident and willing to say something. Because that just brings more out of me, to be honest, to want to talk and be confident and rep that with them.”“He does not lack for confidence,” Williams said. “I do like that. And he has the ability to take coaching and take correction. I love that he has that mental makeup. I love that he has grit. I love that he can make a mistake and bounce back.
“When he picks on the small things, I know those are the things he’s picking on to make me better,” Stevenson said. “There’s that level of understanding between us. I’m not new to the old-school coaches who are really demanding. It was that way with Coach Cristobal and Coach Manny and Coach Smart at Georgia. That’s their way of going about it to demand excellence and get you ready to play your best game.
In spring 2020, when Kmet became the headliner of the Bears’ draft class as the No. 43 pick, his euphoria almost immediately created a wave of self-induced pressure to perform. As much as Kmet knew to squelch those feelings, they lingered for longer than he wanted. Tight ends Cole Kmet , Robert Tonyan and Jake Tonges run out during player introductions during Bears Family Fest on Aug. 6 at Soldier Field.
“Cole has legitimate potential to be one of the best tight ends in the league,” Dray said. “That ability and that potential are there. So that’s our vision. Now he has to go do it. And he understands what that means. It’s not like we’re coming out here just rolling the ball around. He wants to be the best and he works that way.”“This is all about winning,” he said. “I could care less if we throw the ball 40 times or we run it 50 or however it looks. All I care about is winning.
