Check out the results from round one of the Chicago Bears Best Twitter Personality tournament!
Round one is in the books!
Bear Goggles On is letting you, the Chicago Bears fan, determine which Bears’ player is the top dog on Twitter.
We picked what we considered the best 16 Bears on Twitter and set them up in a March Madness tournament to determine the winner.
Our Elite 8 will begin on March 28th. But here are the results:
First in the Jim McMahon region, the top seeded Akiem Hicks took out the region’s eight seeded Khalil Mack 66% to 34%
Hicks advances to the Elite 8 where he will square off against Danny Trevathan. Trevathan was the four seed in this region and he out paced fifth seeded Chase Daniel 69% to 31%.
In the bottom half of the McMahon region, third seeded Anthony Miller comfortable took down the sixth seeded Roy Robertson-Harris. The final tally there was 87% vs 13%.
Miller moves onto the Elite 8 where he will take on fellow wide receiver Taylor Gabriel. Gabriel slaughtered poor Joel Iyiegbuniwe. The final tally there was 91% to 9%.

Moving on to the right side of the bracket, the Mike Ditka region, here are the results:
The top seed here, Kyle Long, cruised past the 8 seed, Javon Wims. There was some talk early that Wims could pull the upset, but Long turned this into a blowout with a 90% to 10% victory.
In a mild upset, fifth seeded Eddie Jackson took down the fourth seed, Allen Robinson. Jackson won the vote here 55% to 45%.
Long and Jackson will square off in the Elite 8.
In the bottom half of the bracket in what was the biggest upset of the tournament so far, the 6 seed, Mitch Trubisky, took down third seeded Prince Amukamara by a final tally of 58% to 42%.
Trubisky will take on the two seed, Tarik Cohen. Cohen owned the biggest blow out of the first round, whooping Charles Leno 95% to 5%.
Can Trubisky take on Cohen and continue his cinderella run? Cohen is widely popular on Twitter so that won’t be easy.
So on the right half of the bracket, it’ll be Long vs Jackson and Trubisky vs Cohen.
