Notre Dame in NFL: Chicago Bears bringing in former Notre Dame QB for workout

The Chicago Bears are bringing in a former Notre Dame quarterback to possibly try and solve their massive issues at the position. Details:

The Chicago Bears have gone from the NFC North’s penthouse to laughing stock as their 5-1 start was erased in the last month as they’ve dropped four straight in falling to 5-5.

Starting quarterback to start the year Mitchell Trubisky was benched in favor of Nick Foles but with injuries to both, the Bears are indeed perhaps looking to bring in another quarterback to try and help solve their massive offensive issues.

Field Yates of ESPN reported on Tuesday that the Bears, who are on their bye week, will be bringing in former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer for a tryout.

Kizer was a second round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2017 but struggled mightily as they lost all 15 of his starts that season.

Kizer was then traded to Green Bay where he backed up Aaron Rodgers in 2018 and played in three games.  He has not however played in any NFL games since despite spending 2019 as a member of the Raiders.

For his NFL career, Kizer has 11 touchdown passes and 24 interceptions.  Stay tuned to see if he’ll get the opportunity to try and turn around his professional career and the Bears offensive woes.

Trey Hendrickson ranked 3rd in the NFL in sacks

The New Orleans Saints have seen fourth-year defensive end Trey Hendrickson blossom in 2020, matching his career sacks total in just 8 games

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”yvcHH33yuC-1030825-7498″]

There aren’t many players listed above Trey Hendrickson among this year’s NFL sacks leaders, and they’re each household names: Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett, who have tied for the league lead with 9.0 sacks.

For his part, Hendrickson is leading the New Orleans Saints defense with 7.5 takedowns, third-most around the NFL. That’s more than a host of better-known competitors like T.J. Watt and Za’Darius Smith (7.0 sacks each), Khalil Mack and Jason Pierre-Paul (6.5 each), and his own All-Pro teammate Cameron Jordan (2.5). And Hendrickson isn’t finished yet.

“I’m hungry. I don’t think anybody in a race wants to take third,” Hendrickson told Nola.com’s Rod Walker on Monday.

Hendrickson, 25, was one of the under-sung names in the lauded 2017 Saints draft class — selected after more prominent draftees like Marshon Lattimore, Ryan Ramczyk, Marcus Williams, and Alvin Kamara. But he’s really come into his own in the final year of his rookie contract, having bagged as many sacks in his last eight games as he had in his first three seasons (34 games, including the playoffs) put together.

It might be tough for the Saints to re-sign Hendrickson in the offseason, but that’s a problem for another day. For now, they’re enjoying the fireworks along with everyone else, and waiting to see if Hendrickson can keep up the pace. Right now, he’s on track to end the year with 15.0 sacks, tying Jordan’s own career-high.
