2011 was a solid season for the Bears cornerbacks, at least for the most part.
The cornerbacks as a whole posted 12 interceptions. D.J. Moore led the way with four interceptions.
Charles Tillman had three, while forcing four fumbles. He has been one of the most consistent ball strippers in the NFL .
He now has 28 in nine years in the league.
