The transition from left guard to center was easier in Year 2 than it would have been as a rookie, James Daniels said. The reason: he knows his teammates.

“Pretty much the footwork’s the same and everything’s the same — except holding the ball instead of having a hand down,” Daniels said Wednesday after the Bears’ organized team activity practice.

“James is a stellar athlete, very smart kid that hasn’t missed a beat there,” he said. “He’s done a great job.”
