3. Isaiah Irving

Everyone is looking for an answer for the Chicago Bears on the edge. Is it Aaron Lynch? They drafted Kylie Fitts. How about Sam Acho, he is a recognizable veteran. However, a sleeper that may not be hearing enough talk for the 2018 season is Isaiah Irving.

Irving had the best OTA session of the group, and the team is impressed that he came into camp not only healthy fresh off of a season-ending injury but also in shape. He lost weight and put on muscle.

Irving got a chance to see the field last season against the Super Bowl Champions and did not embarrass himself. A spark could be lit for Isaiah Irving. He has as good of a chance as anyone to take over with snaps on the edge, and he knows it.

He got healthy, he got in shape and got to OTAs motivated. He impressed the coaches enough to keep his name on their mind and given the lack of depth at the position he has to be trending towards a roster spot after what he has been doing. Keep an eye on Isaiah Irving in training camp. He may have ignited a big season with a strong offseason.
