While the national focus surrounding the Bears has been about concern for Justin Fields, Chicago is quietly getting better on defense. That’s thanks to the addition of second-round rookies cornerback Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker.
Sure, it’s early — and they’ve yet to hit the field in pads — but Gordon and Brisker have been better than advertised during the Bears’ offseason program. Especially with creating turnovers, which is something this Chicago defense has struggled to do over the last few years.
“(The rookies) do a good job of finding the football, punching it out, getting it out, they’re on the game plan, they’re in the right spots,” said teammate Nicholas Morrow. “And they’ll just get better, man.”
