As of last season, Hester was just learning the position, Bradley was demoted to fifth on the depth chart, and Booker was in Miami Who should be No 1?  It has to be Booker by default. He has played with Rex before, having caught passes from him in Rex’s rookie season. Booker has the most experience of the three, yet also has the least upside.Mark Bradley should have “What If” written on the back of his jersey. What if he had lived up to his second-round draft status? What if he could just stay healthy? What if, What if, what if? Bradley is still young, and has good size and speed.

If he can show the coaches that he can stay on the field and not in the trainers room, he could emerge as the No 1 as early as Week One.Who doesn’t love Devin Hester? He is an icon in Chicago, and even columnists like Jay Mariotti, who write only negative articles, loves him. Hester can do it all and is the reason for any of the team’s wins last year. By making Hester a receiver, the only issue is how limited he will be on special teams If Lovie wants to make Hester the No. 1, his playing time as a returner will have to be reduced significantly for him to fully develop.Winner: Booker will be considered the No. 1, but Bradley will end up with the most receptions. Other training camp battles:Tight endGreg Olson vs Desmond ClarkWinner: Jerry Angelo wants to prove he can draft offensive talent, and Olson deserves it anyway. Defensive endAdewale Ogunleye vs Alex Brown vs Mark AndersonWinner: This will be more of a rotation of all three. Brown and Ogunleye will be the starters, but expect Anderson to be brought in during passing situations. Strong safetyDaniel Manning vs Craig Steltz vs Brandon McGowanMike Brown will be given another shot as the starting free safety. Manning seems to have fallen out of favor with the organization for some reason.

He struggled in coverage last season, but the Bears moved him around so much it was hard for him to establish himself at one set position. McGowan signed a one-year contract and plays mediocre at best. Steltz could be the dark-horse candidate, but will have to earn it first.Winner: Steltz. Why not? He played in the SEC, and the coaches already seem to favor him over Manning. Let me know what you guys think, and feel free to comment and write other articles refuting everything I wrote!.
