Can rookie Anthony Miller be next Alshon Jeffery for Bears?
LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The Chicago Bears' assigning rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller the jersey number formerly worn by Alshon Jeffery isn’t merely a coincidence.
Jeffery, who like Miller was drafted by the Bears in the second round (2012), represents everything the organization hopes Miller one day can become -- in terms of on-field production.
The good news for Miller is that the Bears’ bar at wide receiver is set notoriously low.
Jeffery battled a host of injuries in Chicago, but he’s still -- despite playing only five seasons for the Bears -- third all time in franchise history in receiving yards (4,549) and seventh in career receptions (304).
