LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Kiran Amegadjie lived and died with the Chicago Bears long before they drafted the Yale offensive tackle with the 75th overall pick in the third round on Friday.
The Hinsdale, Ill. native grew up watching the Bears in the late 2000s and frequently played the popular football video game series Madden, in particular trying to run back kicks with Hall of Fame returner Devin Hester.
