Chicago Bears- Mitchell Trubisky vs Mike Glennon

The Bears signed Mike Glennon this off-season under the assumption he was their new QB for at least this season, but Chicago went ahead and doubled down by selecting Mitchell Trubisky #2 overall. While many believe Glennon will be the starter with Trubisky taking a redshirt year as a backup, let’s not forget that was the plan with Carson Wentz last year too. Yet the Eagles traded Sam Bradford and gave the reigns to Wentz in his rookie year. Even if Glennon is the starter, expect some serious competition this season from Trubisky and if Chicago starts to go downhill, look out for the former Tar Heel late in the season to potentially make a few starts.

Mitchell Trubisky doesn’t see the field this season

-          Being the #2 overall pick means that Mitchell Trubisky should see the field in his rookie year but don’t be surprised if the Bears put him behind other QBs like Mark Sanchez and Connor Shaw. The Bears invested a lot of money into Mike Glennon and with the Bears in rebuild mode, it wouldn’t make much sense to throw Trubisky on the field early this season. Trubisky may see some playing time late in the year but don’t expect to see him play early UNLESS he somehow shows up big in preseason.

Jordan Howard RB Bears

Howard was taken in the 5th round by the Bears and so far looks the part of a draft steal. The running back suffered from various injuries throughout his tenure at Indiana and may be the reason why he fell to the Bears in the 5th round. Howard has the size and speed to start right away in the NFL and will surely compete with Jeremy Langford for playing time this year. At one point Howard may have been considered a 2nd or 3rd round pick and this year will be a time when Howard can show the national audience his incredible talents a running back. I would not be surprised at all if Howard eventually finished the season as the Bears starting running back.
