While his youthful earnestness and enthusiasm are admirable, Ryan Poles’ mission statement as the Bears’ new general manager was one big cliche.
“We’re gonna build through the draft,” Poles said at his introductory press conference Jan. 31 at Halas Hall. “We’re gonna acquire young, fast and physical football players. We’re gonna be selective in free agency. And we’re gonna connect evaluation with valuation. We’re gonna have a relentless approach to fix our weaknesses. We’re gonna solve problems with open communication and candor And were gonna consistently put players in positions to succeed.”
