Brendan: Wide receiver
Ever since I started following football, I’ve always gravitated towards the wide receivers. It’s the position I love following the most and this year is no different. There are many uncertainties outside of Allen Robinson and you can make an argument that he’s the only player who has his role solidified.
For the second-straight offseason, Anthony Miller will be working back from surgery and could be behind the 8 ball at first. Keep in mind, his 2019 season had a rocky start. He’ll need to show he’s ready to perform when the regular season begins. Former Georgia Bulldogs Riley Ridley and Javon Wims also have something to prove, after neither was able to take off last season, with Ridley riding the bench for most of the year. Can one of them distance themselves from the other and standout during camp?
The Bears were also lacking speed in the position group and now they have two burners who can take the top off of a defense. Free agent signee Ted Ginn Jr. will likely compete with rookie Darnell Mooney for the chance to run the 9 route on gamedays.
With specialist receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Trevor Davis also in the mix, there will be some tough decisions that need to be made when camp wraps up. With no preseason games, every route and catch in camp matters for many of these players.
