6 Bears players that regressed in 2019

There were plenty of players that contributed to the disappointment of the Bears’ 2019 season, but these six stood apart from the rest.

Ryan Pace hasn’t had a good track record with first-round draft choices, and outside linebacker Leonard Floyd is another one of those examples. While Floyd wasn’t the biggest disappointment in 2019, he certainly isn’t living up to the billing as former No. 9 overall pick.

Floyd has shown that he can get after the quarterback, as evidenced by his career-high 12 quarterback hits in 2019. But Floyd has struggled converting those into sacks. After starting the season with two sacks against the Packers, Floyd managed just one sack in the final 15 games.

The Bears insist that they’re happy with Floyd, although they know he can be more productive. Chicago picked up Floyd’s fifth-year option last year, and if they keep him on the roster he serves to make $13.2 million in 2020. But with Floyd lining up opposite one of the game’s best in Khalil Mack, Floyd needs to take advantage of those situations and sack the quarterback.
