George McCaskey, the chairman of the Chicago Bears, was not in the war area throughout the 3rd day of April’s NFL Draft.
Why?
McCaskey was satisfying his obligation and very first really like of umpiring a superior college baseball sport in Sycamore, Unwell. After all, McCaskey, despite his prosperity and stature as an NFL operator, has been officiating youth sports for five a long time. McCaskey has usually been concerned about youth sports leagues not getting enough officials, so he would make time to umpire baseball, officiate football and guide with other athletics as he can.
So even with Working day 3 of the NFL draft going on, McCaskey was not likely to pass up out on umpiring a Sycamore Higher School baseball doubleheader. In point, Sycamore athletic director Chauncey Carrick was the 1 knowledgeable McCaskey that the Bears traded again into the fourth and fifth rounds of the draft to pick out Iowa punter Tory Taylor with decide on No. 122 and Kansas defensive stop Austin Booker with choose No. 144, according to a profile on McCaskey from ESPN’s Courtney Cronin.
So irrespective of McCaskey’s numerous obligations associated with keeping a outstanding job within the Bears’ business, McCaskey remains a staple in the Sycamore group.
“He’s just George,” Sycamore resident Jan Rutherford advised Cronin. “He is element of the local community.”
