Bears players talk competition, team development at training camp

Training camp is a critical time for any team, but particularly a team like the Bears, who will be breaking in so many new additions and young players at key positions in all three phases of the game.

After Friday's practice, quarterback Tyson Bagent, center Ryan Bates, and center Coleman Shelton spoke with the media about the importance of competition throughout camp, as well as their overall development as a team heading into the preseason and beyond:

These practices are crucial to the Bears building enough chemistry in every area, so they'll be able to hit the ground running when they start facing live opponents in the coming weeks.
