His real value is in the quarterbacks room as a veteran sounding board for Williams and (Tyson) Bagent. Rypien has embraced that role, too."Rypien's aforementioned performance during the Hall of Fame Game was so good that it even that Rypien could challenge Bagent for Chicago's QB2 job.It seems like Rypien would be perfectly happy in whatever role the Bears require, so long as he makes the squad.Rypien's calm, easy-going demeanor on and off the field was showcased this week in Episode 1 ofHard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears.He is the right personality to balance out all the hubbub and outside distractions sure to surround Chicago's QB room this season, which must be why the Bears are intent on making him a permanent member of their locker room.More NFL: Edmond Sumner Jersey
