J'Marcus Webb aiming for Pro Bowl

From Mark Potash:

Offensive tackle J’Marcus Webb, a seventh-round draft pick in 2010 who became a starter as a rookie last season, is hoping to make even bigger strides this year.

”Definitely the Pro Bowl,” Webb said.

The 6-7, 328-pound Webb already is one of the few sure things on the Bears’ offensive line at the start of training camp. Every other position is in flux until the fate of center Olin Kreutz is determined.

”I’ve got to improve my strength, my knowledge of the game. And I need to improve myself in terms of staying focused and getting the job done every time — being more consistent.”
