Bears rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson is engaged in a position battle with Terell Smith at training camp. Despite accumulating loafs during the early stages of the summer program, Stevenson remains unfazed and determined to improve, earning praise from Eddie Jackson for his dedication.
praised how Stevenson locked in more and more after coming in as a shy rookie. But even as Stevenson tried to focus and attack practice, his loafs piled up over the early stages of the summer program.
When Stevenson was little he got picked on by other kids. He wasn’t some obviously athletic talent, like most NFL players. In fact, it was the opposite.He loved football and wanted to play, but growing up he never got the opportunity to play a skill position like he dreamed. Coaches put him in at center or guard. When Stevenson finally got a chance to play corner during his sophomore year of high school, it didn’t go well.
“There’s nothing wrong with wearing 58 or 56, but when you’re around other people in the neighborhood and you have 56 or 58 and they have 1, 2, it kinda plays its part.”“I was just like, ‘I’m tired of it. I’m tired of being picked on.’” “We already had a great relationship, so when he bumped up I was happy for him,” Stevenson said. “At the end of the day we know we’re both working, and we’ve got to come into the building and work hard to be able to earn that CB2 spot.
On the practice field we’ve already seen how Stevenson has taken the critiques from his loafs, internalized them, and applied the teaching points to make great plays. As he said, coaches wanted to see him finish plays better. He took that to heart and used that emphasis on finishing to intercept a Justin Fields pass intended for Chase Claypool last week. That play sparked a series of good practices with more takeaways.
