09:28 AM ET 08.05 | Free safety Chris Conte isn't the only white defensive back in the NFL. He???s not even the only one on the Bears??? roster. But given the few white starters at his position, he's reminded of it almost daily. "Yeah, it's always been a thing, you know," Conte said with a laugh. "It's not something that bothers me, and it shouldn't be something that bothers anyone else. But it's a thing. "I mean, [quarterback] Jay [Cutler] was just joking earlier, "Well, whenever Conte's out there, the ball is going to his side because he's the white guy." There's always going to be that perception that white guys aren't as athletic. It would be nice if people didn't think like that, but that's not realistic. I'm trying to prove those people wrong."

And white safeties aren't that uncommon. Now white corners, that seems to be pretty rare. Actually, I can only think of Dustin Fox off the top my head who went to Ohio State and played a couple years in the NFL. He hosts a local radio show and the DB race issue actually is brought up from time to time.

This is nothing. I remember when Jason Seahorn won the NFL's fastest man contest. Some people took that as a sign that the apocalypse was at hand.

Seahorn was really good for a while. I think he had a lot to do with shutting down Randy Moss in a playoff game. But they ran the exact same stories about him as well.

Not really, I think you just broke a time warp continuum back to the year 2012. You will be glad to know that Cutler is till in his hopeful years and not the fat old balding man bagging groceries in a chicago corner store and sleeping at the YMCA.
