Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks took to Twitter Monday night to answer questions from fans about his most memorable moments with the Bears, his favorite teammates, the best offensive linemen he's played against and more.
Couldn’t have made a better choice for DC. I’ve watched him grow as a coach every year since I’ve been in Chicago. I think it’s his time. He has a system that already worked here with pretty much same personnel

I’d do it if I could. The bears have some of the most iconic fits. As you know it’s the orange one for me. The OG AB 96 official orange pic.twitter.com/8UQckHBMns

The run game is just man on man. I want it more than you do. You build tools to play different runs over time based on your foot work and speed. Forward and lateral! Your strength. Your strength my friend. Without it you don’t exist as d lineman in the run game. You are welcome pic.twitter.com/IBIodZyHim

The whole defense nice. I look around and I see nothin but ball players. Cats that’ll go for it. That’s what I said in my head . Lol . Honestly though i think all my teammates can play great ball. It means somethin to em I see it in their faces. I’ve seen people not care before

1)Faith. It’s really simple. Great coaches. I’d say that’s the thing I look back and I’m thankful for. Coaches that had no reason to help a young man along. But found it to be there passion to make a better man out of me. Coach Wright. Dimino. Clements. Walker. McCarthy. Frank
