Bears rookie defensive tackle Gervon Dexter has a lot to learn, but he’s eager to show off what he’s already got and what he already knows. He can’t wait for Saturday’s preseason opener against the Titans at Soldier Field. 

“I’m ready,” said Dexter, a second-round draft pick (53rd overall). “I’m ready to compete. It’s my first NFL game. I’m prepared for it. I’m gonna prepare for it. I’m eager to play the game of football. I’m ready to fly around and showcase myself and showcase my talent.”
