The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the start of their offseason program, which kicked off Monday at Halas Hall. It’s the first time new head coach Matt Eberflus will meet with his team, as well as the new coaching staff in place.
It’s been a busy couple of months for Eberflus, who has spent time with assistant coaches devising a development plan for every player on the roster.
“I went and sat for 45 minutes to an hour with each coach and talked to them about what’s the plan for each guy because that’s what matters,” Eberflus said. “You develop the players this time of year. Where’s this guy at in his skill set and where does he need to be in nine weeks?
“And I’ll meet with them at the end, too. I always talk to them during the course of the [program]. But first week to nine weeks, what does it look like? How do we improve? What were the drills we did to help that player? What do we do in practice [and] meetings and all that to help him develop his skill set?”
