Jurko on Bears Camp: What to Watch & What’s Overhyped
Pat The Designer and ESPN Chicago’s Jurko are back with another episode of The Chicago Bears Podcast, presented by Mitch Lyons Wealth. With the Bears taking an off day from camp, the guys take a step back to recap everything they’ve seen through the first 8 days at Halas Hall.
They open the show by discussing how to fairly evaluate players during training camp when they’re only facing their own teammates. Then, they dive into the growing injury concerns surrounding Jaylon Johnson and the mysterious lack of updates from the team.
Jurko also explains why defenses traditionally start faster than offenses during camp — and what that means for Caleb Williams’ development. To wrap up the show, Jurko shares heartfelt reflections on his former teammate Sterling Sharpe and his long-overdue Hall of Fame induction.
