Of the 88 players at the Pro Bowl this week, it’s likely none is enjoying or appreciating the experience more than Hicks, who admits he has badly wanted to reach this career milestone for a long time. Yes, he is one of seven Bears here, all of them getting their first Pro Bowl invitation. But for Hicks, it’s different. He’ll turn 30 this year. He just completed his seventh NFL season. The Bears are his third team. And for too long, Hicks has felt like he has had to fight extra hard to earn the credit and respect he deserves.
