Pro Bowl players praise new Bears coaches John DeFilippo, Bill Lazor

ORLANDO, Fla. — Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was listing why he liked John DeFilippo— “He’s got a great work ethic, I think he’s got a great personality, he’s a player’s coach, he’s a good communicator,” he said — when he stumbled upon one of the reasons the coach is now on his fourth team in as many seasons.

“I really enjoyed working with him, and I was disappointed I didn’t get more time with him,” Cousins said after Thursday’s Pro Bowl practice. “But it’s my own fault.”

The Bears interviewed DeFilippo to be their head coach two years ago.
