New Bears WR coach Curtis Johnson bonding with Alshon Jeffery, Kevin White

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- From the outside looking in, Alshon Jeffery and Curtis Johnson seem like polar opposites.

Jeffery, the Chicago Bears' star receiver, who is out with a minor hamstring strain, is quiet and reserved, content to let his play do the talking.

Johnson, Chicago's brand new receivers coach, is loud and aggressive on the practice field, verbally challenging guys with an in-your-face style.

Can the two men co-exist in 2016? Especially after Jeffery skipped the entire get-to-know-you voluntary portion of the offseason workout program?

"I think it’s a good relationship," Johnson said on Friday.
