The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is in the books, and there were plenty of prospects that impressed during workouts. Considering the Bears don’t pick until No. 43, there are several of those standout performers that will be off the board well before Chicago’s first pick in the second round.
But there were a slew of prospects that impressed last week that the Bears should have a chance at at some of the biggest areas of need this offseason, including tight end, safety, cornerback, offensive line and quarterback.
Let’s take a look at some prospects that impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine that the Bears could target in the NFL Draft:
S Jeremy Chinn, Southern Illinois
Jeremy Chinn had already put himself on most teams’ radar during the Senior Bowl, but it was his NFL Combine performance that really set him apart. His measurements were impressive — 41-inch vertical jump, 116-inch broad jump and his 4.45 40-yard dash, all of which ranked in the top three among safeties. And he was equally as impressive during on-field drills.
The Bears are looking for a safety to line-up opposite Eddie Jackson, and Chinn could fit in well in that strong safety role. Chinn was believed to be a sixth-round prospect, but his stock certainly has risen after a strong NFL Combine performance.
