 Former West Texas A&M wide receiver Brittan Golden is making the most of his opportunity at Chicago Bear training camp. A report from ESPN Chicago quoting receivers coach Darryl Drake says "He's doing a good job". " He's showing up, and that's what you want to do as a young player. Have someone notice you, and he's being noticed.

For a change the Bears come into camp heavy at wide receiver hurting the undrafted rookies chances, but Golden is finding other ways to make the roster. "I think it will come down to special teams play and how guys shine and don't in their special teams, and what their roles are gonna be, Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice said. " But thats for head Coach Lovie Smith to decide."

Not to be outdone former teammate J'Marcus Webb has secured the club's starting left tackle position.

Expect both Webb, and Golden to get plenty of action Thursday night August 9th when the Bears open the preseason vs. the Denver Broncos.
