The Bears completely overhauled their tight end position this offseason after signing Jimmy Graham in free agency and drafting Cole Kmet with their first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Both players have earned rave reviews during camp, which is why I believe Graham plays a huge factor in the passing game, grabbing the most receptions for the Bears on Sunday. It’s no secret that the style of offense the Bears run succeeds when the tight end is heavily involved. Trubisky will get to play with his new toy and Graham proves to be worth the signing right out of the gate.
