Meet the Rookies: Jaquan Brisker
“He’s an athlete. He plays violently. Thinking back to it, he was always a determined little kid. When I look at Dash from ‘Incredibles’ that’s how ‘Quan was.” – Mijhoni Brisker
The Bears dropped the second of this year’s three-part series “Meet the Rookies” with today’s episode profiling safety Jaquan Brisker, Chicago’s second pick in this year’s draft.
