Bears rookie safety Jaquan Brisker has been making a name for himself as a ballhawk since arriving in Chicago. Now, fans are getting a glimpse of what the coaching staff saw all spring.
Brisker had an impressive interception off quarterback Justin Fields during Friday’s training camp practice. Brisker showed his instincts when he jumped a route and picked off the pass intended for tight end Cole Kmet. It’s the kind of play that had the potential to be a pick-6 in live action.
“I’m trying to show my disguise,” Brisker said. “Just coming down and Cole crossed my face so I just took my eyes to his hips and then once I (saw) him get ready to catch the ball I just jumped in front of it, you know, made sure I caught the ball and just took it upfield.”
Brisker had a little extra motivation after fellow second-round rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon picked off a Fields pass intended for wide receiver Darnell Mooney.
“Yeah, I pay attention,” Brisker said. “Once he got the first one I was like, ‘I got to get one now; I got to get one.’ So there’s definitely a competition between everybody in the room with the corners and safeties and linebackers. You know, I’m definitely trying to be the takeaway king.”
