Bears | Ego Ferguson expected to learn both tackle positions Tue Jul 15, 12:33 PM
Chicago Bears DT Ego Ferguson is expected to learn both defensive tackle positions. There is a chance Ferguson could get as many repetitions as the first team during training-camp and the preseason games.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson is a run-stuffer who can stand his ground against double teams. He understands leverage and does a good job hand fighting in the trenches. Ferguson lacks the burst to create much interior pressure, but he can occupy space to allow linebackers behind him to make plays. |

NFL | Ego Ferguson taking it to next level Fri Jan 10, 09:32 PM
Louisiana State DT Ego Ferguson will skip his senior season and has declared for the 2014 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson is considered a second-round pick as of right now. He's a huge run defender who can regularly take up two blockers in the middle of the line. Like most LSU defensive linemen, Ferguson is raw in pass-rushing technique. |
