5 reasons why Mitchell Trubisky will breakout in 2018

Athleticism

The athleticism of Mitchell Trubisky is not highlighted often, but what he brings should make him a much more dynamic quarterback. To start with the obvious, he can run the football. Trubisky has said that he wants to run the football more. He has said that it is an added dimension and another thing to throw the defenses off.

His athleticism makes his job easier. It also makes his job easier in the pocket. He can evade sacks, and he was excellent when throwing on the run last season. The team can roll him out and get him making well-timed throws with strong decisions on the run.

This can add to making RPO’s tougher and is what made the Alex Smith led Chiefs and Carson Wentz led Eagles so tough to defend. These quarterbacks are not Michael Vick, but they pose the threat to run enough that it lingers in defenders heads. It is no surprise that Trubisky falls into a similar athletic tier to Wentz and Smith, and Matt Nagy just so happened to be interested.
