3. DT Nick Williams
The Bears defense suffered some injuries to key defensive players last season, and one of the players that came up big was defensive tackle Nick Williams. Stepping up from a reserve role as the Bears battled injuries on the defensive line, Williams shined when called upon. Williams had 42 tackles, six sacks, two fumble recoveries and two pass breakouts in 2019.
If there’s one position group that Chicago appears most comfortable with it’s the defensive line, and Williams was a big part of their continued success in 2019. While Williams will certainly draw some heads in free agency, he has expressed a desire to remain in Chicago. He’s proven to be a productive player on an already-dominant Bears defensive front, but he’ll likely get a chance to make some money this free agency.
