Bears’ Hardin has aggressiveness down, but he has a lot to learn
BOURBONNAIS (MCT) — It took Brandon Hardin all of one offseason practice to learn a valuable lesson from a veteran teammate.
The 6-foot-3, 222-pound safety swooped in for a tackle during organized team activities before pulling up short during the non-contact session. The play drew a chorus of oohs and aahs because of what could have happened had it been live action.
“You just knew that the receiver would have gotten nailed after jumping for the ball,” Hardin recalled. “But (Brian) Urlacher turned to me and said, ‘Nice break, would have been a good hit, but you would have gotten fined for it.’ “
