Bears win first game of season. Who gets game ball?

I could rally behind the Howard pick. He looked strong in all three aspects of offense racking up a few strong blocks against pass rushers, a few receptions, and a helluva lot of nice runs, but as a defensive minded viewer, I'm going to go with Jerrell Freeman with an honorable mention to Bryce Callahan for some excellent play against Tate shutting him down and allowing just 1 reception for 1 yard.

Freeman's been THE stud of this defense week in and week out. He's a consistent tackler, a sticky coverage man (going up against some tough assignments in Riddick and Ebron) and a supreme intellect. He plays disciplined football and shows no give regardless of the situation. He's once again the leading tackler for the Bears with 7 tackles but more than that he's the budding identity of this defense IMO.
