Meet the Rookies: Jaquan Brisker

“He’s an athlete. He plays violently. Thinking back to it, he was always a determined little kid. When I look at Dash from ‘Incredibles’ that’s how ‘Quan was.” – Mijhoni Brisker

The Bears dropped the second of this year’s three-part series “Meet the Rookies” with today’s episode profiling safety Jaquan Brisker, Chicago’s second pick in this year’s draft.

The first episode featured wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. and the third part of the installment on cornerback Kyle Gordon will air tomorrow.

This is the eighth straight year of the series which chronicles the journeys of select rookies just as they are about to embark on their professional careers. The Bears sent video crews to the players’ hometowns to speak with their parents and former coaches.

Here’s the synopsis from the Bears’ website:
