For any parents who might be on the fence about putting their child into multiple sports as a kid, new Chicago Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon might sway you into doing it.
Gordon, the first selection off the board for the Bears in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft at 39th overall, comes to the Bears as their likely new starter in the secondary. He’s a fluid player who had a tremendous amount of success while at Washington and should be an excellent player at the NFL level. Gordon’s an incredible athlete and attributes his success to his early days in dance.
When he was a child, Gordon competed in dance as young as six-years old. He travelled the country, performing a variety of dances including pop, lyrical, hip-hop, and event ballet. As Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times writes, Gordon explained all that went into it when he was young.
