The Chicago Bears have a boatload of work to do. That’s if they plan to make a quick turnaround from one of the worst seasons the team has ever had. Going 3-13 was a record franchise-low. Something GM Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox both deemed “unacceptable.” They also vowed it would never happen again.
Since then they’ve taken steps to prepare for what they know is a critical 2017 off-season. It started by accepting the invitation to coach the North squad for the Senior Bowl. It was felt the opportunity was ideal for them to get an inside look at some of the top prospects in the upcoming draft. Not only could they interview them, but also see how they practiced and prepared under NFL-style conditions.
It seems they’ve already zeroed in on a few players. Three of them are safeties. That shouldn’t be any big surprise given the state of their secondary. No the intriguing surprise came when they chose to meet with a young offensive player. One that might conjure up feelings of deja vu for some in the organization.
