Nose Tackle

1. Eddie Goldman- Goldman had a splendid rookie season for the Bears last season and earned himself all-rookie honors. He showed, not only the ability to take on double teams on running plays, but also the ability to get to the quarterback as an interior pass rusher. Goldman has slimmed down and should see more snaps because of it. He has a chance to become one of the best nose tackles in the league this year if he continues to develop like he did last season.

2. Terry Williams- Swamp Monster was a preseason fan favorite last season. He’s a load in the middle and has some ability. He didn’t make the roster as the season broke, but he was brought back on the practice squad. Williams position is far from a lock, but if he shows some improvement, he could make the roster and rotate in for Goldman.
