Every good defense needs a centerpiece, and when the Chicago Bears were dominating on that side of the football in the 2000s, middle linebacker Brian Urlacher was the face of Chicago's 4-3 defense.
Defensive stalwarts like Urlacher, Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs are no longer with the organization, but the Bears may have found a centerpiece for their new 3-4 defense in second-round pick Eddie Goldman.
To compare Goldman to any of the names above is unfair for a variety of reasons, but with the organization transitioning from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense this offseason, the former Florida State Seminole has a chance to become a focal point in the middle of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's 3-4 scheme.
