It’s all about the Chicago Bears rookies during Saturday’s preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. But it’s not Jaquan Brisker making the biggest impact on defense — although he’s certainly been a standout — it’s undrafted rookie linebacker Jack Sanborn.
Sanborn has come away with two takeaways in the second half against the Chiefs, including an interception of quarterback Shane Buechele at Kansas City’s 40-yard line. That set up quarterback Trevor Siemian’s 12-yard touchdown pass to running back Trestan Ebner.
