BOURBONNAIS, Ill. (AP) -- Former University of Oklahoma standout Tommie Harris says he wants to be known by the nickname "Real Deal."

The Chicago Bears' Pro Bowl defensive tackle was ready to perform when training camp opened and that's because he showed up healthy.

Harris hasn't played since December 3rd, when the Bears beat Minnesota 23-13 to clinch the NFC North.

Harris had a career-high five sacks and 48 tackles and would ultimately be named to his second straight Pro Bowl.

Harris says "Real Deal" was his nickname in high school, and he would repeat it to himself after breaking the huddle during his first three years with the Bears.
