Goldman looks at Ratliff as mentor

One highlight of Eddie Goldman's first three months with the Bears has been the opportunity to work alongside a player he's tried to emulate since high school.

The rookie nose tackle is a huge fan of Jeremiah Ratliff, who was voted to four straight Pro Bowls from 2008-11 as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. At Florida State, Goldman even changed his number to 90 in honor of Ratliff.

"It's a great experience," Goldman said of working with Ratliff. "He always comes and gives me pointers. I learn from everybody just by watching.
