Shaun Draughn looks to stick with Chicago Bears while preparing for the future

Posted Jun 19, 2014
When a player has lived the ups and down of professional football like Tarboro native Shaun Draughn has, they tend not to worry about much. If anything, Draughn, 26, sounded relieved to be back in his hotel room after the second day of mini camp with the Chicago Bears. Draughn, a four-year veteran, is thankful for another opportunity to prove that he can stick with an NFL team. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
