The Chicago Bears saw significant contributions from rookies on offense, defense and special teams during the 2022 season, whether it was from draft picks or undrafted free agents.
The Bears’ best draft pick was none other than safety Jaquan Brisker, who was acquired after the team traded Khalil Mack to the Los Angeles Chargers before free agency. Chicago got a second-round pick back for Mack, which turned into Brisker at No. 48.
Brisker helped shore up the defensive backfield alongside veteran Eddie Jackson, and his impressive performance earned him Bears’ Rookie of the Year honors.
Let’s take a look back at Brisker’s rookie season and see what we can expect for the future.
