The Chicago Bears have watched as former Alabama S Eddie Jackson has blossomed into a star. Now, they’re pairing him with a former Alabama teammate.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is the other starting safety for the Bears in 2019, coming over after spending time with the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins.
On Monday, Clinton-Dix said he and Jackson strive to hold themselves to the “Alabama standard” as they play:
Six years since college and Bears S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix still feels like he's gotta live up to the Alabama standard. He says he and Eddie Jackson hold each other accountable because, "We know the program we came from and what the expectations are for us.”

Interestingly, even after being out of college, the impact left on them by Alabama is still strong.
Clinton-Dix and Jackson form a strong safety tandem this year, so we’ll see if they can help the Bears make it back to the postseason.
