D: What's your favorite NFL memory so far?

Anthony Miller: My first touchdown. Did you see my dance?

D's Follow Up: His first TD catch was cool as he beat the Seahawks DB in the corner of the end zone. His dance was a little bit like Hype from Fortnite. I wonder if he's ever played Fortnite against Tarik Cohen?



J: What are your favorite healthy foods to eat before a game?

Anthony Miller: I'm not going to lie, I eat what I want. But bananas are good before a game and so are peanuts. Water is best for you too.

J's Follow Up: I love bananas because every time my Dad or Gramma buy them, I eat about 3 or 4 of them. Peanuts are not my thing though, I don't like them.

J: What's your favorite part about living in Chicago?

Anthony Miller: I don't really have one yet but I do like the vibe of the big city.

J's Follow Up: A lot of players say that the food is their favorite part about Chicago. I like visiting Chicago but I like the suburbs too. My favorite part of the city is the skyscrapers and all of the fun things to do.


On Monday, October 1st, J and I drove out to Bergie's Sports Card Dugout in Highland Park to meet Chicago Bears star rookie, Anthony Miller. The Bears ended their Sunday with a huge 48-10 win against the Buccaneers heading into the bye week and Anthony Miller came to Bergie's to meet with his fans. The boys and I have been talking about Anthony since the day the Bears drafted him, so J and I were excited to meet him in person.


Jordan came prepared with questions and he even brought the pair of gloves Anthony wore at his Fanatics photo shoot. We won them in an online auction and we have been looking to get them signed ever since. Anthony was even surprised to see them saying, "Are these my gloves? I guess they are, they are even my size too." 


Anthony was as awesome as we'd hoped he would be and he was excited to take J's questions and answer them. We hope Anthony can make a quick return from his shoulder injury and get back out on the field soon so he can get back to making plays for our Chicago Bears. Miller is a big play guy and we'll be rooting for him and his teammates each week as they look to make the playoffs this season. We'll also be cheering for Anthony in person from the sideline on October 28th as we attend the Play 60 game at Soldier Field against the Jets!
