Bears rookie minicamp: Tyrique Stevenson vs. Tyler Scott was highlight on Day 1

The Chicago Bears kicked off rookie minicamp on Friday, where draft picks, undrafted free agents and tryout players took the field for the first time.

According to NBC Sports Chicago’s Josh Schrock, one of the highlights from Friday’s practice was second-round cornerback Tyrique Stevenson going against fourth-round receiver Tyler Scott.

Per Schrock, Stevenson went against Scott four times and Stevenson “won by a knockout.” It certainly helps that Stevenson and Scott spent the offseason training with each other, so Stevenson has a good idea of how to best neutralize Scott’s blazing speed.

“Definitely did good,” Stevenson said after Friday’s practice. “I know he’s quick and I know he’s fast. Me being able to get my hands on him a couple of times kind of threw him off. I’m a little bit bigger than him so I don’t he definitely don’t want me to touch him. But he definitely did good with his releases off the line. He gave me some work today and I gave him some work today.”

While the Bears won’t put pads on until late July, it certainly sounds like Stevenson had a standout performance on Day 1 of rookie minicamp.
