Chicago Bears linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga urges men to get tested for prostate cancer
Chicago Bears linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga poses with his custom painted cleats for the NFL's My Cause My Cleats initiative, in Lake Forest, Ill., on Nov. 20, 2024.When the Chicago Bears linebacker had an opportunity to participate in the NFL’s My Cause, My Cleats program, he took it to promote the Walnut Foundation, a Brampton, Ont., organization dedicated to the wellness of Black Canadian men with a focus on prostate health.
“Also to spread awareness to people to get those checkups to stay on top of it because if not for that early detection, who knows what could've happened with my grandfather and father?” The ’24 season has been a challenging for Chicago. Ogbongbemiga was part of an active off-season that also included the additions of receiver Keenan Allen and running back D'Andre Swift and drafting of quarterback Caleb Williams and receiver Rome Odunze , prompting some prognosticators to suggest the Bears would reach the NFL post-season for the first time since 2020.
“We still have four games ahead of us to go out and continue to fight and show we’re capable and have the right people in this building. When things don’t go your way you've still got to go out there and execute to the best of your ability.”“That’s a big part, just keeping your head straight, staying locked in and focused every single week whether it’s win, loss or tie,” he said.
“I love what I do and I’m blessed to be able to do what I do,” he said. “I just try to focus on one day at a time, one game at a time, honestly.
