Former NFL Players To 'Kick-Off' 2014 ADPI/ABI Annual Conference

Elmhurst, IL – Otis Wilson from the 1985 Championship Chicago Bears and former Chicago Bear and Green Bay Packer Anthony Morgan will "kick-off" the 2014 ADPI/ABI Annual Conference on Sunday, April 27th at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, IL.

Otis Wilson is a former Pro Bowl linebacker and Super Bowl Champion. He played nine seasons in the National Football League for the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Raiders. He won Super Bowl XX as a member of the Bears, starting at linebacker on their vaunted "46" defense. That season he was also selected to play in the Pro Bowl and was named second-team All-NFL by the Associated Press.

Otis began his collegiate career at Syracuse University before transferring to the University of Louisville. He was selected nineteenth overall in the following year's NFL Draft. Following his playing career, Otis has worked as a film actor. His film credits include the popular Harrison Ford film The Fugitive and Capone's Lost Treasure. He also is known for his appearance as a soloist for "The Super Bowl Shuffle" which he performed with other members of the Super Bowl XX Champion Chicago Bears.

Selected by the Chicago Bears in the fifth round of the 1991 NFL Draft out of Tennessee, wide receiver Anthony Morgan played six seasons with the Bears (1991-1993) and Green Bay Packers (1993-1996). After his football career, he joined the Christian Valley Missionary Baptist Church in September of 1998 and later became an ordained minister in 2006. In July of 2012, Morgan joined Trinity International University as wide receivers coach. For the last couple years Morgan has spread the message about Fuel Up to Play 60 with the Midwest Dairy Association, the NFL and the Bears. He has become the Bears alumni spokesperson for Illinois. NFL PLAY 60 is the league's youth health and fitness campaign.
