Alshon Jeffery: 'Brandon Marshall and I were the best receiving duo last season'

Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery insists that he and teammate Brandon Marshall were the best wideout pairing in the NFL last season.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has expressed his belief that he and teammate Brandon Marshall were the best wideout tandem in the NFL last season.

The duo notched 17 touchdowns and over 2,500 receiving yards between them despite an injury to starting quarterback Jay Cutler, which left him out of action for several weeks.

"I'm not the type of person that brags a lot about anything, but I feel that last year, what we did, we were at the top of the list as the two best receivers," Jeffery told Sporting News.

"But that was last year. This year we have to set our goal and try our best to do the same thing we did last year, if not better."

The Bears missed the playoffs last season with an 8-8 record in the NFC North.
