Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall feels that teammate Alshon Jeffery has to reach the Pro Bowl for his performances of the pitch.

Jeffery has been outstanding in recent weeks for the Bears as he broke their receiving yardage record against the Minnesota Vikings on his way to going past 1,000 yards for the campaign along with hauling in seven touchdowns.

"He has confidence about himself," Marshall told the Chicago Sun-Times. Last year we sat down and talked about goals, and his goal was to make the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

"Some older guys would look at that kid like, 'You're ridiculous.' I looked at it and said, 'Hey, I've got the same attitude. You've got to dream big. If you don't believe in yourself, nobody will."

The Bears are 8-6 in their season and face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
