The 25-year-old brings maturity to the Rookie class, I think with the age, Ive developed an idea of what it takes to take care of my body. Ive outgrown some of those things that a lot of Rookies get in trouble with, Bergstrom said.

Bergstrom is wearing uniform No. 70. Keep an eye out on the first player selected in the McKenzie era.
