Remember the Bears

Before the most physical practice of training camp began Tuesday night, rookie guard Chester Adams, a seventh-round pick from Georgia, regaled the entire team with a rendition of “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” by the Temptations.

In a scene reminiscent of the movie “Remember the Titans,” Adams stood in the center of the field while teammates who were stretching joined in and clapped along. It was actually an encore performance after Adams sang the same song earlier in the week when required to do so by veterans.

“I sang it the other night at a team meeting and they liked it, so they wanted me to sing it again,” said the 6-foot-4, 325-pound Adams. “You’ve got to do what the vets tell you to do. You’re a rookie. It’s different. You go from being a senior in college, now you’re back to Square One. But it’s a good thing.”
