Maturity
One of the more pleasant surprises that has come about this offseason has been the poise and maturity of Mitchell Trubisky. This is a young man coming off of a year where he likely did not hit all of his goals. He likely was not happy.
What he has done has worked to make sure that does not happen again. Coaches consistently mention how he is in the building every day. He snuck into rookie minicamp to see what was going on.
It went under the radar, but the mentorship of Mark Sanchez and Mike Glennon should be commended more. Trubisky has thanked both of them for helping him handle media obligations at such a young age. Sanchez has seen the ups and the downs of being a young pick with big expectations. Glennon got paid by the Chicago Bears almost solely based on the way he handled himself. Their guidance to wade him through the tough first season went a longer way than some might think.
Countless players have talked up Trubisky in the offense. The coaches have noted that he has taken on the leader mentality. Trubisky has taken on that leadership mentality and it should show up on the field as hard work tends to pay off.
