...defensive rookie of the year last season; first-year running back Anthony Thomas, 23; and quarterback Jim Miller, 30. The soft-spoken Miller is a rookie of sorts, who got the starting job practically by default in his third year with the Bears. He has ridden the bench for so long--seven seasons with Chicago, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville and Atlanta--that his pants are pine scented.
