While most Chicago Bears fans were recovering from a long Labor Day weekend, Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher and former Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson were hosting an event at the Naval Station in Great Lakes, Illinois. The USAA’s Salute to Service NFL Boot Camp to be exact. It was a day where the United States Navy’s men and women could participate in what can only be described as a civilian NFL-like combine.
At the event, Urlacher, Nelson, media members and service members participated in multiple combine activities including the 40-yard dash, the vertical jump, 3-cone drills, a receiving gauntlet and Urlacher’s favorite, the QB Arm Challenge (more on that in just a bit).
