Quarterbacks have been picking on Bears rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson all season, with standout Jaylon Johnson playing on the opposite side. And Stevenson wants them to keep bringing it, because while he has learned some hard lessons this season, he has two valuable qualities on his side that only enhance his 6-0, 214-pound frame, his athleticism and his natural aggressiveness: He’s not afraid to fail. And he learns well.
