BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – Coach Matt Nagy has brought his own personality to a Bears team in search of a new identity in more ways than one. And he clearly has less than zero problem with player personalities being out there. “Be yourself” has been a Nagy mantra from Day 1, and he has more than gotten some colorful “yourselves."
Of course, personalities are anything but all the same. The most common question of any beat writer (besides “How’s Trubisky looking?”) is “What is so-and-so like?” The latter isn’t the harder. For one thing, contact with players is tightly regulated and rare outside of controlled environments.
