If you haven’t yet heard, the Chicago Bears aren’t expected to be very good this upcoming season. It’s an extremely popular notion that’s already been beaten to death, even though the team has yet to have a padded practice, let alone a regular season game. Still, the Bears aren’t on many people’s lists to make noise this season, but a couple of young players on the team are ready to surprise the doubters.
Offensive playmakers David Montgomery and Darnell Mooney both recently joined separate Chicago media programs within the last week to share their thoughts on the upcoming season and what the Bears might be able to do. While they’re not printing Super Bowl tickets just yet, they’re both believing the team is going to outperform expectations.
Mooney kicked things off last week when he joined Red Line Radio and was asked if the team was prepared for a potentially painful season given the low expectations. “Not at all,” the receiver said.
