3. C Cody Whitehair
Whitehair has proven to be one of general manager Ryan Pace’s better draft picks, and he’s served as a versatile member of the Bears’ offensive line. While Whitehair has his issues — whether it’s high snaps or blowing blocks — he’s proven to be a reliable contributor. Whitehair has played both left guard and center, when needed, and his play was good enough to warrant a second contract — a five-year, $51.25 million deal with $27 million guaranteed. Whitehair, who made the Pro Bowl in 2018, figures to resume his role as center, which he took over for James Daniels mid-way through last season.
