The Chicago Bears draft class has shined for much of the preseason. Excitement is building each week. Colston Loveland has looked great in training camp and had his best performance yet with two catches for 26 yards in his limited work against Buffalo. Luther Burden has been even better, catching three passes for 49 yards and delivering two monster blocks for rushing touchdowns. This doesn\u2019t include Kyle Monangai, who sat the game out but looked good last week against Miami.<\/p>\n
In all the buzz about those guys, one other might be getting overlooked.<\/p>\n
At least that is what legendary Bears center Olin Kreutz thinks. Being the offensive line specialist he is, that is the area he watches every game. After seeing the starting offense operate in the first quarter, one name kept jumping out at him on the screen.<\/p>\n
Bears might of found something in Luke Newman. I\u2019d like to see him play some center also.<\/p>\n

He\u2019d been a steady and dependable blocker at Michigan State. Most viewed him as a smart player and a good athlete who was undersized. Perhaps they may have misjudged him a little.<\/p>\n
