Jerry Tillery . 5. player. 57. So far Eddie Goldman has managed to stay health in the middle for the Bears and that’s a good thing. Their run defense is significantly better when that’s the case. Problem is he’s had a hard time staying that way. It would be wise to at least invest in some depth at nose tackle, something they haven’t done. Jerry Tillery has filled that role quite well at Notre Dame. He’s got the size and the ability to hold the point of attack.. NT. Notre Dame
