Jennings, coach bond over INTs

LAKE FOREST – Sometimes, Gill Byrd sees a little bit of himself in Tim Jennings.

Byrd shined for a decade with the San Diego Chargers, where he led all NFL cornerbacks in interceptions from 1989-91 and finished his career with a franchise-record 42 interceptions.

These days, Byrd is the Bears’ assistant defensive backs coach and safeties coach. He proudly has watched Jennings notch six interceptions in seven games to lead the NFL.
