So many perspectives have been explored regarding Mitch Trubisky the quarterback. Of course it started with GM Ryan Pace and his front office. Then it was notable draft experts. Soon his parents were interviewed and his college coaches at North Carolina. Not to mention plenty of teammates. All of whom swear that the young QB is destined for greatness in the NFL. So what about going way back, maybe to a Trubisky schoolmate?
Specifically one who knew him in high school. That is what Reddit user mrautomatic17 was. He’s a local of Trubisky’s hometown of Mentor, Ohio. Few had a better seat for his rise to prominence as one of the best players in the state and eventually the country. Other users kept asking him to explain what it was like being so up close to that action.
So he decided to explain in detail all of his impressions. Suffice to say they ranged from good to blown away.

Perhaps the best part was the final paragraph. It was clear mrautomatic17 was a teeny bit miffed that his beloved Cleveland Browns didn’t draft Trubisky when they had the chance. Considering this comes from a man who watched him up close and personal for almost a decade, that’s saying a lot. Few had a greater idea of just what they were missing out on.
This is further affirmation that the Bears maybe, just maybe got the right guy. There is still plenty of proving to do. Trubisky has his fair share of doubters. Nonetheless he came out strong with the best preseason debut of a Bears rookie QB in the Super Bowl era. The goal now is building off of that. Chicago is anxious to see what happens next. The coaches continue to insist patience.
Reading stuff like this makes that difficult.
