1. Alshon Jeffery, WR
2012 NFL Draft, No. 45 overall
For a place once deemed the place where “receivers go to die” by former Bear Muhsin Muhammad, Chicago has had some great ones over the last decade. The Bears drafted receiver Alshon Jeffery in 2012, and he thrived alongside Brandon Marshall in Chicago’s offense.
In just his second season, Jeffery recorded his first 1,000-yard season — a career-best 1,421 receiving yards — and earned his lone Pro Bowl nod in 2013. Jeffery followed that up with a second 1,000-yard season in 2014, where he also added 10 touchdowns. In four of his five seasons in Chicago, Jeffery had at least 800 receiving yards.
While Jeffery ultimately wanted out of Chicago — running to sign with the Eagles in 2017 — when he was with the Bears, he was one of their best offensive weapons. Since leaving the Bears, Jeffery hasn’t achieved the 1,000-yard receiving mark again.
