Best Case, Worst Case: Daniel Braverman

What is the best possible outcome for Daniel Braverman and what is his worst scenario?

As we get ready for the 2017 Bears season, it is a good time to look at the ceiling and floor of every player currently on the Bears roster. Of course, career ending injury is the absolute floor, but we will try to keep it to an on the field scenario. Also, this is the most reasonable ceiling to be set, Mitchell Trubisky is not going to be Super Bowl MVP, MVP and Rookie of the Year this season. With that all said, this edition will look at wide receiver, Daniel Braverman.

Best Case:

Braverman shows up to training camp inspired to leave an impact. He is making crisp breaks on his routes and has shown light feet and shiftiness in the open field. On top of that, he is making a case to be the team’s punt returner. Braverman gets a lot of second team reps with Mitchell Trubisky and it becomes clear the two have a connection together. The duos run in the preseason inspires the Bears enough to keep him over Victor Cruz. Braverman starts behind Kendall Wright in the slot, but as Mitchell Trubisky takes over the reigns late into the season, the team throws him out there with Trubisky. He puts up most of his season stats in the last four games, and it is clear who Trubisky trusts when under pressure.

Worst Case:

Braverman immediately gets lost in the shuffle of wide receivers. The team added Cruz and Kendall Wright in the slot where Braverman plays and is struggling to find any time in the spot. He is behind rookies Tarik Cohen and Eddie Jackson for punt returning duties and halfway through the preseason it becomes apparent the team has no spot for him. The team does get him onto the practice squad but also keeps wide receiver Tanner Gentry on the practice squad too. Injuries to other positions force the Bears to shuffle their practice and they keep Gentry as their only practice squad receiver over Braverman.
