Currently, Earl Bennett and Rashied Davis are listed as the starting wide receivers for the Bears according to Yahoo! Sports.
Will they be at the top come opening day, or will youngster Juaquin Iglesias unseat one of the two and start?
For what it's worth, Earl Bennett and tackle Chris Williams both played with new franchise quarterback Jay Cutler at Vanderbilt.

They gave me a call earlier today, they're gonna give me a workout at WR. They're starved enough at the position.

But won't that get in the way our your top selling real estate business?

I could broker in my sleep and still wipe the floor with Century 21.
On topic, I think giving Iglesias a shot is worth a shot. Even though he's unproven, he's not exactly facing strong competition in Davis and Bennett. He was a favorite of Sam Bradford's, he's got great hands, pretty good speed (4.44 40), and was one of Pat Kirwan's 10 rookie fantasy studs.

Youngster I thought Bennett was younger.

Devin Hester and Earl Bennett will be the next thunder and lightning combo.:rolleyes:

I'd go with Bennett (because I've been high on him since watching a game of his against Florida his freshman year, the player I wanted to see in that game: Jay Cutler) and Iglesias based on potential and the sheer fact that there's really not much else there. Line up Hester in the slot, that's a decent three receiver set.

Bennett was a freshman Cutler's senior year, and Williams was I believe a sophomore, both were starters at the time if I remember correctly.

No aren't Bennett and Juaquin Iglesias the same age?

Yep, Bennett is just a couple of months older.

I just don't know about Hester as a WR. It feels like Chicago's trying to fit a square peg into a round hole with that one.

Probably are. He's one of those athletes who really doesn't fit one position in the NFL, not unlike Josh Cribbs in Cleveland. They're great returners, can do some stuff with the ball when you put it in their hands, but they lack a well defined position.
Something the Wildcat as an evolving scheme can fix.
