McManis is the longest-tenured Bears player, and his contributions on special teams have been a big part of his success in Chicago. While special teams gunners don’t get a lot of accolades, McManis’s contributions have gone under-appreciated, which might be a reason why he hasn’t been voted to the Pro Bowl.  He’s also provided depth at defensive back for the Bears, where he served as a cornerback before moving to safety in 2019. McManis, who’s coming off an injury-shortened 2019 campaign, signed a one-year extension with the Bears this offseason to remain in Chicago for the ninth straight season.
