5 standouts from the 2020 Senior Bowl that should be on Bears’ radar

There were several prospects that flashed throughout Senior Bowl week, and some that should be of interest to the Bears.

With the quarterback position a looming question mark, the Bears will surely invest to fix the position. While the Bears are committed to Mitchell Trubisky as their starter in 2020, they’d do well to explore options in free agency and the NFL Draft. One quarterback that had a great week at the Senior Bowl was Washington State’s Anthony Gordon, who also stole the show Saturday.

One of the knocks on Gordon has been his decision making, as evidenced by his 16 interceptions in 2019. But he was able to limit those mistakes both during the week of practice and Saturday’s game, where he was efficient and accurate with the football. Gordon, who completed 8-of-12 passes for 69 yards, led the North team to three touchdowns in the third quarter, including two passing touchdowns.

While the Bears aren’t likely to use one of their second-round picks on a quarterback, Gordon is someone that could fall to them in the later rounds. And the Bears shouldn’t hesitate to take him.
