Akiem Hicks standing out at Bears' training camp

Chicago Bears defensive end Akiem Hicks has "stood out" during the first three days of training camp, Rich Campell of the Chicago Tribune said.

What It Means:

Hicks has had no trouble getting to quarterback Jay Cutler and also chased down running back Jeremy Langford, preventing a big play at Saturday's session. Through three practices, Hicks has looked surprisingly nimble for a player who stands at 6'5" and weighs 336 pounds.

Our algorithms project Hicks for 32.08 tackles and 4.24 sacks in 2016. He'll be a strong part of Chicago's front-seven rotation.
