How would you rank the Chicago Bears top 90 players?
As we approach training camp it is a good time to take a hard look at the entire roster. The Chicago Bears will bring 90 men to training camp. Who are the most vital to them having a big season and who are the least important potential camp cuts?
There really is no way to formulate criteria for the ranking. It is a mix of impact, value, and the combination of floor and ceiling of what they can bring to the table. With that said, it should show a general idea of where each player ranks in the team’s minds of what they need from them in 2018. It can also provide some fun discussion. Let us begin with number 90.
90. Ryan Winslow, P
It is always tough to find that 90th player. No slight to Winslow, but at the moment he is a back up punter. Pat O’Donnell has been nothing but fine in his stint with the Chicago Bears so the team is not necessarily discussing serious conservation.
Still, it is worth noting that they brought in the leg for competition. It means that they do see something here and want to see more into August.
When looking at his draft profile there is one distinct reason that tends to stick out. His weaknesses are surrounded by inconsistencies in accuracy and strength. However, his strengths feature the ability to throw the football.
Matt Nagy preaches versatility. He is going to mix up the slot, mix up personnel and use players in a variety of alignments. He seems to be intrigued by a punter who can pass as well.
Do not mistake this as a chance for him to make the roster. However, he is now on their radar, and with an NFL coaching plan, he may be able to progress into a more a consistent punter.
