Rookie tight end Adam Shaheen continued to impress at training camp Monday, catching two touchdown passes from Mark Sanchez in a five-play span late in practice.

Selected by the Bears in the second round of the draft out of Division II Ashland University, the 6-6, 270-pounder possesses an ideal combination of size and athleticism.

“He’s a big target,” said coach John Fox. “He’s got good body control for a big man. I’ve liked what I’ve seen. We didn’t get to see so much in the offseason obviously without pads. Even his point-of-attack blocking I’ve been impressed with.
