From College Hero to Windy City Rookie
You might know Harbaugh as the sideline-pacing, khaki-wearing coach who could probably bench press a small car. But before all that, he was a quarterback with a cannon arm and a penchant for the dramatic. Harbaugh was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 1987 NFL Draft. That's right, folks, the same year the Bears danced their way into the hearts of a nation (and Super Bowl victory).
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
Now, picture this: a fresh-faced, bushy-haired Harbaugh stepping onto the gridiron in the Windy City. It’s like casting a choirboy in a Quentin Tarantino movie. A bit of an odd fit, right? But hey, football is full of surprises.
