I'm guessing this is the former RB for the bears.

Yes, former Georgia Southern standout and played for the Bears for a couple of years I think.

We actually played against him in the playoffs back in...maybe '98.

That linked image in the tweet (see below) includes: Jason McKie, Coach Stockton, Jerry Bey, and Adrian Peterson
Jason McKie - Played in the NFL for 8 years, 6 with the Bears. Was coached by Coach Fisher at Temple.
Jerry Bey - Former player at Western, coaches at Waukegan High School, is the father-in-law of Jason McKie
Adrian Peterson - Walter Payton Award winner in 1999, set the FCS record for career rushing yards with 6,559. Played 8 years for the Bears as a "specialist" or backup RB mostly.

From their website:

All Pro Sports Performance (APSP) was established by Former Chicago Bears Jason McKie, Adrian Peterson, Alex Brown, and former Florida State Seminole Linebacker Robert May. A.P.S.P provides clients with an innovative and creative workout that inspires clients to reach their particular goals. Our youth is our future and the former Bears believe we must invest in them, A.P.S.P. has a variety of programs that will achieve this goal.

APSP trains a lot of Chicago-area athletes, and we have an "in" with them now. Could give us a HUGE boost to our recruiting in the area.

I some how didn't see that looks like he's not afraid to get down the field and block.

I know this is a dumb question but when a kid comes to visit does he have to pay his own way or does the NCAA actually let the school pay for the visit.

The school picks up the tab for the player and parents...if they choose to come.
