Bears' Affairs: Who Are the Underdogs Coming into Training Camp?

This year, the Chicago Bears are pumped and excited for the 2010 season, playing with a sense of urgency and desperation.
Veterans like Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs feel the need to prove themselves worthy to the NFL's elite.
If all goes well, the Bears should be a much-improved team.
So, the question is, who are some no-names we need to look out for in training camp?
No. 1 Garrett Wolfe
Garrett Wolfe, a product from Northern Illinois, is currently a third-stringer. Many people overlook his talent.
Wolfe rushed for 120 yards on 22 carries last year, an average of 5.5 yards-per-carry, but was injured midseason.
Number 25 has great speed and agility, similar to Darren Sproles.
His size is considered a huge disability, but shouldn't be.
Standing at 5'7" and weighing in at 185 pounds, Wolfe could be fit for weakside pitches and fullback fakes.
The little guy has great assets and could be used in niche situations in 2010.
No. 2 Corey Wootton
Mr. Wootton is a 6'7", 280 lb. defensive end out of Northwestern.
Wootton had a 10 sack season in 2008, but his production fell off last year following injuries.
Bears' coach Lovie Smith is high on Wootton, giving him props in every way possible.
Wootton could become a backup if he produces in training camp and can manage to stay healthy.
No. 3 J'Marcus Webb
J'Marcus Webb is a huge tackle that could become the Chicago Bears' future.
He's 6'8", 328 pounds, and a great teammate with intensity.
Reports from Chicago indicated that Webb actually knocked one of offensive line coach Mike Tice's teeth out during a drill.
Webb is not only a good teammate, but has strength and size to become a great tackle.
No. 4 Freddie Barnes
Freddie Barnes could potentially be the Chicago Bears' greatest pickup.
Barnes is an amazing possession receiver, and could be successful if placed in the right situation.
