There isn’t even a question who this best player for the Chicago Bears has been the first two games of the season. Freeman has been as good as advertised and even better. He’s been excellent against the run, brought some pressure on blitz packages and he’s been solid in pass coverage.

Freeman is a playmaker. While Trevathan is steady and just makes tackles, Freeman is the guy that can make a huge play and turn the momentum of the game. He’s been the Bears’ MVP through two games and you should expect that to continue as the season progresses.
