General Manager Ryan Poles has an important offseason ahead of him with the Bears. His team has two top 10 draft picks, including the first overall pick.

ESPN’s Waddle and Silvy do a daily radio show covering Chicago Sports. Recently, they had one former professional QB Brock Huard. He played three seasons in the NFL. Huard does college football commentary for FOX and has covered Willaims a few times.
