While Johnny Knox is preparing for his Pro Bowl debut this weekend, another Bears player is getting recognition for his hard work in a disappointing season.
Tim Shaw, the free agent from Penn State was signed by the Chicago Bears in the middle of the season. He truely burst on to the scene as a special teams standout. In the prime time game against Philly, Shaw made three outstanding tackles. He followed up by making six special teams tackles in five weeks and ended the season with a career-high six special teams tackles against Detroit including a forced fumble.
There's no doubt in my mind that had Shaw been playing for the Bears from the beginning of the season he would have easily made the Pro-Bowl. There's no doubting his raw talent to play special teams and he will be a big asset for special teams coach Dave Toub.
But for now, he'll have to settle for the Joe Bowl.
Go bears.
