Mitchell Trubisky is set for a big leap forward in his second season, here is why
The Chicago Bears have received a lot of praise this offseason for what they have done to build around Mitchell Trubisky. They are set for a second-year jump. However, if Trubisky does not make a jump himself, it will hurt the team. Here are five reasons why Trubisky will be able to make that jump
Skill Players
As mentioned, life gets a lot easier when you have talented skill players around you to get the ball to. What is so nice about the skill players assembled for Trubisky is that the team was really looking for fits in the offense more than just overall talent.
Allen Robinson obviously leads the way with talent, but typically holds down as a big possession receiver. He is a much better route runner than some give him credit for. Taylor Gabriel and Anthony Miller are great with the ball in their hands. Trey Burton is a mismatch player who can help Mitchell Trubisky identify coverages pre-snap.
The offense has been crafted around the skill set of Trubisky and the idea is for him to get the ball out of his hands quickly and into the hands of his talent in the short passing game.
