Happy Birthday, Neal Anderson!
How do you replace Walter Payton?
You don't, of course. He was arguably the greatest football player that ever lived.
But Neal did a damn fine job stepping into the shoes of Sweetness at running back for the #Bears.
Four consecutive Pro Bowl seasons from 1988-91
Anderson stands as #DaBears third all-time leading rusher and ranks second in franchise history with 71 career touchdowns.

High School Recruiting Tip:
A lot of college coaches are recruiting directly off of X (Twitter) — not through recruiting services.
Why? Because many of those services blast out 50+ generic emails a day from athletes who aren’t actually putting in the work. Most coaches just delete them.
Think about it ⤵️
If a kid isn’t willing to do the work in their own recruiting process, why would a coach believe they’ll do the work when they get to college?
Here’s the smarter play ⤵️
Get real guidance, build your presence on X, and send personalized emails with direct links to your video.
Profile Services⤵️
Those profile services often require a coach to open your email, click a link, and then search for your video — and when coaches are getting 500+ emails a day, that’s just too many steps.
Make it EASY. Make it SIMPLE.
Let your X profile speak for you — and always include a X direct video link in your emails so college coaches can easily like, follow & DM you.
Btw: recruiting starts WAY BEFORE your JR year.
Ohio State’s WR room in the spring of 2021 featured six first-rounders: Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jameson Williams, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka. https://t.co/8p8VM5m8Z4
@DEvanAltman The politics in HS sports is insane. I know it’s in club ball too. But in club ball you can choose your spots and find the right spot that wants to help you grow. Easier to create your own path. Go kill it and have a great summer!
@DEvanAltman I know it’s hard. When she stepped away I was crushed. Keep his confidence up anyway you can. Confidence is a hell of a drug. Confidence, love of the game, and proving people wrong is a hell of a combination.
