The Chicago Bears have a vacant starting safety spot to fill following the departure of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, and it could be the Bears’ newest strong safety Jordan Lucas.
Lucas will be competing for the starting strong safety job opposite veteran Deon Bush, who the Bears recently re-signed this offseason.
Here are four things to know about the Bears new strong safety:
1. Lucas won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs
Lucas, a former sixth-round pick by the Dolphins, was traded to the Chiefs in 2018, where he served as a strong safety and special teams gunner. But he was also part of a Chiefs team that won the Super Bowl in 2019.
Lucas is going from one Super Bowl-winning team to a team just fighting to make it back to the playoffs with the Bears.
But believe it or not, there’s actually no Matt Nagy connection. Nagy had left to coach the Bears the same year that Lucas was brought into Kansas City.
