According to former Bears' head coach from 1993-98, Dave Wannstedt, Quinn looks ready to replicate another season like the last.
"And I'll tell you what, Robert Quinn, I mean, he was moving around like a 25 year old defensive lineman," Wannstedt said on NBC Sports Chicago's Unfiltered with David Kaplan. "It shocked me the quickness that he had. And he was leading the pack. So it was an encouraging day to see the youth, to the see the energy and then the schemes that they're doing."
