Bears second-year safety Jaquan Brisker (9) reacts after making a play agfainst the Lions on Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears won, 28-13.

Everybody loves Jaquan Brisker. The second-year safety has emerged as a leader not only of the Bears’ secondary and the defense, but of the team.

Coach Matt Eberflus, secondary coach Jon Hoke, safeties coach Andre Curtis and veteran teammate Eddie Jackson are among those who have effusively praised the second-round pick from Penn State. But when the best Brisker anecdote/compliment comes from starting center, you know you’ve got a special player who makes an impact on everyone in the building.
