Each week, the Daily Chronicle will quiz a Chicago athlete about the contents of his locker. We decided to start with Bears defensive tackle Anthony Adams, whose locker is among the messiest at Halas Hall. Adams, 29, has 13 tackles in seven games on the Bears defensive line this season. The 6-foot, 300-pound Detroit native and Penn State alum played four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before coming to Chicago, where he has started 17 games and tallied 60 tackles since 2007. Bears reporter Tom Musick caught up with Adams before a recent practice to poke through his locker.
