LAKE FOREST, Ill. – During a pre-draft visit with the Chicago Bears, Tyrique Stevenson was brought in to the team’s draft room for a discussion with general manager Ryan Poles. The subject was why Stevenson had transferred from Georgia to Miami prior to the 2021 season.
Poles wasn’t looking for reasons it didn’t work out in Athens, he was looking for accountability.
“The one thing I look for is just ownership of some situations,” Poles said. “Maybe it’s a guy that was a five-star [recruit] ... that came in with a sense of entitlement in that the job should just be handed to him.
