How the Chicago Bears Tight Ends Can Help the Passing Game

Zach Miller

Zach Miller has been a Chicago Bear since 2015 but has not made it through a full 16 game season due to injuries. He has played in 27 games with 24 starts (through Week Two of 2017). Miller has nabbed 85 catches for 964 yards and nine touchdowns.

As mentioned, his biggest issue has been staying healthy. Miller could have been a top NFL tight end had his career not been derailed by debilitating injuries.

If he can stay healthy, Miller could become Mike Glennon’s favorite receiver or at least the guy Glennon looks to when no one else is available or if he needs to dump off a pass quick due to heavy pressure.

He has proven that he can be a reliable receiver with good hands and even decent speed. Because of that Miller should become someone that Glennon can rely on in every game to help move the ball down the field.

But how long will he stay healthy? Can we count on Miller to be there the rest of the season? Glennon, the Bears coaching staff, and the fans certainly hope he can make it through the year.
