If the Bears are looking for a high-motor player with a penchant for getting after the quarterback and stopping the run, Michigan State edge rusher Kenny Willekes could be their guy. Willekes is coming off back-to-back standout seasons with the Spartans, including 78 tackles, including 16 for a loss, and 10.5 sacks in 2019. He’s someone the Bears could surely look to pair with Khalil Mack coming off the edge.
