D: What's your favorite NFL memory of this season?

Taylor Gabriel: Beating Green Bay to clinch a playoff berth!

D's Follow Up: They used to be my old favorite team. The Bears finally turned it around against the Packers. I'm sure Taylor felt really good and they finally got revenge.

J: Is it true that you are faster than Tarik Cohen?

Taylor Gabriel: Way faster. It's true. It's facts. Turbo.

J's Follow Up: I think Turbo is faster because because he practices sprinting and running longer routes where Tarik Cohen mostly doesn't practice long runs all the time. So I think the practice helps Turbo be faster.

D: Was it weird to get picked up by Kiko Alonso? 

Taylor Gabriel: It was. It was. That was like two years ago.

D's Follow Up: I watched C'Mon Man on ESPN and saw Kiko Alonso pick up Taylor. All the guys then said C'Mon Man. I really love when they do those.

On Tuesday, January 1st, the VincentsGo3on3 boys drove out to Mike's Sports N' More in Lombard to meet Chicago Bears wide receiver #18 Taylor Gabriel. Taylor is coming off of another huge game as he has a big time catch which helped the Bears finish off the Vikings and their playoff hopes on Sunday. Turbo has been a great addition to the Bears this year and we look forward to having him on our team for the next 3 years. 

Taylor was extremely gracious with his time on New Year's Day as he took a few minutes with each guest in line and carefully signed his name on every Bears item that came his way. The boys and I talk about Turbo a lot in our house and we are curious how close a race between him and Tyreek Hill would be. Tuesday was a special day and we can't wait to see Taylor as he leads the Bears into their first playoff appearance in 8 years. #BearDown

J: What's the farthest punt you have ever had?

Pat O'Donnell: In a game? 76 yards.

J's Follow Up: That's the biggest punt I'd ever heard of until we looked up the NFL record and it's 98 yards.

D: Have you ever tackled anyone on a punt return?

Pat O'Donnell: In my second season I tackled Richard Sherman.

D's Follow Up: My brother Jordan met Richard Sherman at a Pro Bowl practice. He's a big guy and was probably really hard to tackle. I would get burnt if I was in the NFL trying to tackle Richard Sherman. 

We recently met up with Pat O'Donnell at our first ever Chicago Huddle playoff taping. Pat has been a staple of the show and we've had the opportunity to ask him many questions throughout the years. Jordan and Danny even got tips on how to punt the ball with proper technique back in 2016.

Pat was great on the show once again and so was first time huddle host Jason Goff. Jason stepped right in for Patrick Mannelly and acted like he has been the host for years. I have been a big fan of Jason's on-air career and the boys definitely recognized his voice. Overall, Pat and Jason gave us an inside look at this week's matchup against the Eagles and we can't wait until Sunday to see our Bears hit Soldier Field for the biggest game in 8 years! #BearDown
