Last Thursday more than 200 members of the Young Presidents' Organization Chicago and their families visited training camp at Halas Hall to spend a day with the Bears.
The event began with brunch and a fireside chat with former Bears teammates Matt Forte and Anthony Adams, who shared stories about their playing days and gave an update on what they've been doing since retiring from the NFL.
The back and forth between Forte and Adams, who played together in Chicago from 2008-11, was humorous. Adams told a story about how he delivered a hard hit on Forte during a practice after being provoked by guard Roberto Garza. Adams looked at Forte and said: "You were the beneficiary of my rage, and I had to apologize." Forte quickly shot back: "That never happened."
Turning serious, Forte praised Adams for helping to bring the shy running back out of his shell when he joined the Bears in 2008 as a second-round pick from Tulane.
"He brought the fun," Forte said.
