3. Marvin Hall

This may not be to any doing of his own. Rather, he is fighting an uphill battle against numbers. Hall is a wide receiver who replaced Taylor Gabriel in Atlanta and may need a Gabriel injury to see the roster in Chicago.

We all know Allen Robinson, Gabriel, and Anthony Miller are starters. Cordarelle Patterson is a secret weapon who is being held out of the preseason. Riley Ridley has a great chance of making the roster given his draft commitment, and Javon Wims flashed in camp and took that over to the preseason.

The Bears have six clear players ahead of Hall. Hall can make it as number seven, but it is tough to justify keeping that many receivers. Hall will have to be a stud on special teams, show that his speed is unreplaceable. Needless to say, he is in a tough spot.
