Nice article about area guys wanting to be the next T.J. Edwards or Jack Sanborn. The Bears will need to sign 18 more players after this draft to have the 90 guys for summer camp. Maybe one or two of these guys working out today will be there.

Bears host area prospects at local pro day
Last summer Buffalo Grove's Maema Njongmeta, a linebacker at Wisconsin, attended a Bears training camp practice at Halas Hall as a fan. On Tuesday, the former Stevenson High School standout was back at the Lake Forest facility along with more than 40 other NFL prospects participating in the Bears' local pro day in advance of the draft. "I was here this past summer with my friends to watch practice," Njongmeta said. "That was really fun. But coming back and being on the other side of it is even better."
Njongmeta hopes to follow in the footsteps of T.J. Edwards and Jack Sanborn, two Bears linebackers who grew up in the Chicago area, played at Wisconsin and developed into playmakers after entering the NFL as undrafted free agents. Njongmeta played three seasons at Wisconsin with Sanborn, trains with Edwards in Milwaukee and draws inspiration from both former Badgers.
