LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Wide receiver Rashied Davis started his personal conditioning program a month earlier than usual this offseason, and the results have been palpable on the practice field.

Determined to help the Bears replace Bernard Berrian and Muhsin Muhammad, Davis has starred during minicamp and OTA workouts, displaying blazing speed and excellent hands.



“Rashied Davis has had a tremendous offseason,” said offensive coordinator Ron Turner. “He’s looking at this as an opportunity with Bernard and Moose gone, him having a chance to step up
and play, and he is playing.

“He’s raised his game in the offseason. He’s playing at a different level right now and at a different speed. Hopefully he can continue that. He’s made some great plays for us in the past and he’s looking for an opportunity to get more playing time.”

Davis, who signed a three-year contract extension in April, felt a responsibility to help fill the void after the Bears released Muhammad and lost Berrian to the Vikings in free agency
