When Adrian Peterson returned to his home in Statesboro, Ga., after work
one day last month, the former Bears running back discovered a special
package waiting for him on his front step.To get more news about

Much
to Peterson's delight, the navy and orange commemorative box adorned
with a Bears 100 logo contained one of the No. 29 Bears jerseys he had
worn during his career with the founding NFL franchise from 2002-09.
"It
was unique that they were able to actually find one of my game-used
jerseys," Peterson said. "That was even more special about getting it."
In
celebration of their 100th season, the Bears are sending game jerseys
to their former players—the actual jersey that player wore during his
time with the team if possible. They're in the process of shipping
nearly 600 jerseys and hope to eventually send about 500 more.
Former
Bears receiver Marcus Robinson also posted a short video on his
Facebook page of him opening his box and displaying his old No. 88
jersey. He ends the clip by saying, "Go Bears, baby!"
"It's a
really awesome thing they're doing for us," Robinson, who played for the
Bears from 1998-2002. "I'm really grateful about it. Reading the letter
[that accompanied the jersey], they're trying to reach out to everyone
who has played for the Bears organization."
