During training camp, the Chicago Bears welcomed over 40 college students at Halas Hall for their third annual Career Expo. This event, part of our ongoing commitment to the NFL’s Play Football initiative, provided a unique opportunity for students to explore various career paths within the professional sports industry. Students from ALPFA Inc - Association of Latino Professionals For America, Hope Chicago, Chicago Scholars and Project LOVE Chicago had the chance to hear from our front office and business operations staff about their journeys to the Chicago Bears and their day-to-day responsibilities. The event featured inspiring talks from Chicago Bears Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren, as well as a panel discussion and an informational fair, highlighting the diverse roles from 10 different corporate departments that contribute to the success of a professional sports franchise and inspire future talent. The panel, moderated by Director of Corporate Communications Micaeh Johnson, featured insights on the job application process, HR expectations, the Chicago Bears associate development program and the importance of networking and mentorship from Talent Acquisition Coordinator Ana Rodriguez and Football Communications Associate Kenneth A. Rolle II. Chicago Bears President & CEO Kevin Warren shared his advice with the students, stating, “My advice is to set goals so big that they make you uncomfortable and then work relentlessly to achieve them.” He concluded with, "you can work your way into greatness," reminding them that anything is possible. To cap off the event, Chicago Bears veteran safety Kevin Byard III made a surprise appearance to speak to the students. He shared his journey through the National Football League (NFL), offering valuable advice on navigating career changes and setting ambitious goals. Regardless of whether you’re a professional athlete or not, everyone’s journey is unique and can inspire others to pursue their own dreams.

On the latest episode of HBO Max's Hard Knocks, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams shared some heartfelt memories with his quarterback teammates about his early days playing flag football. From his first experience on the field as a four-year-old, Caleb has carried the joy and inclusivity of flag football with him throughout his career. 🏈   Caleb's enthusiasm for the sport is evident as he expressed his excitement at the possibility of playing flag football in the Olympics. Lucky for him, the sport is making its debut at the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games. Caleb is ready and eager to participate if he receives the call!   Flag football stands out as a sport where differences don't matter, everyone can play. This inclusive nature is reflected in its growing prominence, exemplified by the IHSA's historic decision to sanction girls' flag football earlier this year. The Chicago Bears have been at the forefront of this movement, launching a successful league in collaboration with Chicago Public Schools in 2021. Since then, the program has expanded to over 120 teams statewide, including new leagues in Rockford, the Western Suburbs and even internationally in the United Kingdom.   As the Chicago Bears highlight, "Flag football isn’t just a sport, it’s a passion that connects us all, no matter where we start." We're excited to see how this sport continues to inspire and empower future generations of athletes. 🐻 💙 🧡

This summer, Chicago Bears wide receiver Tyler Scott achieved a special milestone by graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Cincinnati. After missing out on a traditional high school graduation and completing his college courses online due to the pandemic, Tyler was determined to walk across the stage and celebrate this moment with his family. 🎓 🐻   Scott, an Ohio native, drove from Canton, where he played in the Chicago Bears first preseason game in the Hall of Fame Game, to Cincinnati the following day for his graduation.   Reflecting on the experience, Tyler shared, “I wanted to be able to walk on the stage, have that moment, and be part of the graduation ceremony. For my parents, my brother, his daughter and my wife to be there, to have them see me walk across the stage, I know that was truly special for them.”   After walking the stage and celebrating with his family, Tyler drove six hours back to Chicago that same night to make it in time for Saturday morning's training camp practice. Upon his return, he was welcomed with a congratulatory handwritten note from General Manager Ryan Poles, recognizing the significance of his achievement. The long hours and miles traveled didn’t deter Tyler from experiencing the graduation ceremony he had missed earlier in life.   Tyler's journey is an inspiring story of dedication both on and off the field, setting a powerful example of perseverance and commitment to education. Good luck to all the rising freshmen heading to school this upcoming fall!   Read more about Tyler Scott's journey: https://lnkd.in/g8ii--Rw   Photo courtesy of University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics
