Throughout his Chicago Bears career, former offensive guard Kyle Long has always had his quarterback’s back, both literally and figuratively.
After being drafted in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft, Long was tasked with protecting former Bears quarterbacks such as Jay Cutler and Mitchell Trubisky in his seven seasons in Chicago.
Long publicly defended both of them on multiple occasions, while also working to keep defensive linemen from bringing them to the ground. He’s someone who will publicly back his teammates, no matter what the criticism might be.
