The Bears clearly have their #1 and #2 receivers in Devin Hester and Earl Bennett, but the question is who will be the odd man out with all of those receivers in the mix. Brandon Rideau has had a good camp, Johnny Knox and Juaquin Iglesias have looked real solid and Rashied Davis is on [...]

Ron Turner Likes The Bears’ Rookie Receivers
Offensive coordinator Ron Turner talked about the three receivers the Bears selected in the NFL Draft. Juaquin Iglesias: What did I like about him? Everything. He caught the ball really well.
