May 3, 201510 yr comment_148355 I was at a wedding last night, and one of my wife's freinds came up to me all excited that a freind of hers was drafted by the Bears. I asked the name and she said Jefferson. So, I immediately knew he wasn't "drafted", but figured he was signed after the draft. I checked on line on my phone and found that to be true. She said he's an amazing and down to earth guy who is a really hard worker. She said he was beyond thrilled that he landed with the Bears. So, I feel like I've got a horse in the race and am really pulling for this kid to make it. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dspro...5&genpos=WR http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players...thony-jefferson http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/ant...rson?id=2552694 Report

They work hard and have the desire to be better. That is a trait I think Pace is looking for. Report

May 4, 201510 yr comment_148440 I'll throw in that he was coached by Jim Mora Jr that was a former NFL coach and NFL defensive coordinator. That should help some. Report

May 5, 201510 yr Author comment_148484 I spoke to my wife's friend last night, and here's some bits of info I got about Anthony.... She knows his dad from her youth. His dad, had aspirations of the NFL, but couldn't break through. His dad coached him positionally at high school at Cathedral in LA (see below). Anthony's a smart kid that earned his degree. He's a very hard worker. He was raised by his dad and stepmom with a really strong bond with his grandparents. He has strong family bonds with his siblings, parents and grandparents. When she mentioned that friends of hers that were Bears fans were pulling for him, he was really honored and excited and said he'd do everything he could to make the team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_Hig...l_(Los_Angeles) http://www.uclabruins.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=207914112 Report
May 5, 201510 yr comment_148486 The cool cutsie stories end this weekend and its put up or polish up your resume. We seem to have a collection of bodies at that position so he needs to stand out in this weekend's mini camp. Report
May 5, 201510 yr Author comment_148491 Man, talk about kickin' my sand castle! In all seriousness, I get it. But for me, I now feel like a have a person I can root for to make the team. If he doesn't make it, he wasn't good enough. If he does, it makes it that much sweeter knowing a little something more. I'll continue to make mention of anything I get through my wife's friend about Anthony Jefferson. Those who are interested can read, those who aren't can pass it up.
