Shaheen off to impressive start in camp

As you’d expect, the jump from Division II to the NFL has been a significant one for former Ashland University star tight end .

Bears rookie tight end Adam Shaheen works on a blocking drill during a recent practice.

Shaheen no longer looks like a man among boys like he did at Ashland. But the 6-6, 270-pounder possesses ideal NFL size and has been among the most impressive Bears players so far in training camp, especially catching touchdown passes in the red zone.

Shaheen arrived in Bourbonnais confident that he could compete with the sport’s most elite athletes after preparing for the draft alongside some of the nation’s top prospects.
