The NFL Scouting Combine is in full swing. But before the on-field workouts begin tomorrow, defensive line and linebacker prospects met with media members on Wednesday.
Teams have started meeting with these prospects at the combine, which means we’re getting updates on which prospects have already met with the Chicago Bears.
Here are updates from the defensive line/linebacker media availability, which includes info on which prospects have met with the Bears, as well as other nuggets:
