Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Bears have an offensive lineman that’s a glutton for penalties. And, no, I’m not talking about Charles Leno Jr., who himself had 12 penalties in 2019. That was tied for fifth most in the NFL.

You know who else had 12 penalties last season? Chicago’s newest offensive lineman Germain Ifedi.

During his four-year career, Ifedi has accrued 46 penalties in 60 career regular-season games. At this point, you wonder who will win the title of most-penalized Bears offensive lineman. Place your bets now, folks. Are you taking Leno or Ifedi?
