Bears 2020 training camp preview: Tight ends

While the Bears have a crowded TE room, there are ultimately just four roster spots up for grabs. Let’s take a look at the Bears TEs.

The Bears began the re-haul of their tight ends room with the addition of veteran Demetrius Harris, who has experience in an offense similar to Matt Nagy’s. Harris spent his first four years with the Chiefs, where Nagy worked as the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator. Harris also had more receiving yards than any Bears tight end in 2019. He had 15 receptions for 149 yards and three touchdowns.

Harris will occupy one of the “Y” tight end spots, where he’s proven to be effective. He was the ninth-ranked blocking tight end last season, according to Pro Football Focus. But he’s also proven to be a reliable target in the passing game.
