5 QB prospects Bears should watch at NFL Scouting Combine

The Bears are expected to target a veteran QB in free agency, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if they also drafted a young QB to develop.

Easily the biggest offseason conversation surrounding the Bears has been how they’re going to handle the quarterback position.

While Mitchell Trubisky has been named the starter for the 2020 season, that’s not guaranteed beyond this season or even at the start. Which means the Bears will likely be in the market for a new quarterback.

Chicago is already expected to target a veteran signal caller in free agency, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if they also drafted a young quarterback to develop.

With that in mind, here are five quarterback prospects the Bears should watch at the NFL Scouting Combine next week:

1. Jordan Love, Utah State

Utah State quarterback Jordan Love is the kind of player the Bears would love — an athletic, dual-threat quarterback with a big arm. But Chicago certainly wouldn’t be the only team in need of his services.

Love certainly regressed in his senior season, throwing for 20 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in 2019 compared to 32 touchdowns, six interceptions in 2018. But his upside is enough for the Bears to consider taking a chance on him if he’s still on the board come the second round.
