On a talented Chicago Bears roster, it’s easy to get lost in the mix. Which players on this team don’t get the recognition they deserve?
The Chicago Bears are one of a few teams loaded with young talent in the NFL. But in this league, nothing is given. Players who succeeded with ease from the pee wee level all the way through the college level might not find it so easy in the big league.
If you’re a big college football fan, this might be more prevalent to you than it is to the average NFL fan. Left and right, you’ll see guys who were stars at their respective colleges blending in as a professional football player. This can range from mid-round picks to first-rounders who are largely considered busts.
This isn’t to say that they don’t make an impact; they just don’t separate themselves as a star in the league. Sometimes this can come down to the way their team plays and how they fit into a scheme. Other times, they’re just a talented guy on a roster with five or six more talented guys who make the headlines.
Regardless of how they got there, this Chicago Bears roster is full of the type of player than I’m talking about. Behind Khalil Mack, Eddie Jackson, Akiem Hicks, Kyle Fuller, and Allen Robinson, there is more than meets the eye on this squad. I’m talking about the guys who are vitally important to this group, but don’t get the recognition they deserve.
Here are the top 5 Chicago Bears that nobody talks about.
