Guys you seldom hear about and would not know him if he introduced himself to me, but are such an important part of building a great team.  They help lay the foundation going forward.

 

Pace just seems to be putting and keeping together a staff that may make this next ten years one of the all time great Bear teams.  Just like Finks did in the late 70's early 80's  IMHO  Only time will tell.

Congrats to Sam, these guys are often the unsung heroes of building winning teams.  One thing about Pace is he seems to have a genuine appreciation and respect for everyone in the organization whether your a high profile employee to lowest profile employee.  It creates such a good positive work environment when no matter what your job is your boss/manager has your back and respects you and appreciates the sacrifices you make to make the team better.  That makes you as an employee want to work hard.  

Sam and the rest of our scouts have done an outstanding job.  I feel like we've been stringing together some very solid drafts in the last few years or so.  These guys sacrifice a lot and their job is virtually never done.  Whether it's during college season or offseason these guys give a lot of time to traveling, studying film, talking to players, coaches.  It's their job to look for and find players for us to draft.   Sam's list of players he's scouted is pretty darn good.  Well deserving of the award.  Also like that he is looking to bring in guys who are of high character and remind him of Payton.  He's not just interested in talent but looks for guys who have high character to go with their talent.

We have to remember that Pace had leftover scouting dept from previous regime.  After year one he put his guys in place. After first year he has been smoking the drafts.  In last 2 years has added core players for years to come.  Made mistakes along the way but being aggressive key.
