2021 Chicago Bears roster rank: 60-56
We are getting closer and closer to training camp. As we count down the days we also count down the Chicago Bears 2021 roster. This list will look at who can make the biggest impact to the 2021 roster, and whose presence is valued the most.
We have worked all the way from number 90 to 61 in recent posts. The top 60 players should be players who could make an impact with a strong summer.
90. Brian Johnson
89. Rojesterman Farris
88. Khalil McClain
87. Caleb Johnson
86. Sam Kamara
85. Daniel Arcibong
84. Scooter Harrington
83. Chris Lacy
82. Dionte Ruffin
81. Rodney Adams
80. Tyrone Wheatley
79. Thomas Ives
78. CJ Marable
77. Jester Weah
76. Jake Butt
75. Teez Tabor
74. LeCale London
73. Daureuan Parker
72. Michael Joseph
71. LeDarius Mack
70. Adam Redmond
69. Tre Roberson
68. Xavier Crawford
67. Badara Traore
66. Artavis Pierce
65. Ryan Nall
64. Riley Ridley
63. Patrick Scales
62. Joel Iyiegbuniwe
61. Charles Snowden
60. Dieter Eiselen, G
Last Season: 63
Dieter Eiselen is an Ivy league UDFA who stuck around after his rookie season. We were intrigued by Eiselen and had him ranked 63 coming into his rookie year, mainly noting the depth on the interior. Eiselen has been working with Olin Kreutz and maybe in the mix to get snaps at center this summer as well.
59. Artie Burns, CB
Last Season: 55
Last season Artie Burns was going to be on the roster fringe before an ACL ended his season. The Bears sticking with him and giving him a chance again this year shows that they trust what they see from him. Still, he has a lot of ground to make up and is slightly less likely to contribute than last season when healthy.
58. Lachavious Simmons, G
Last Season: 57
Simmons did not do much as a rookie, and that was likely expected. Still, the Bears’ offensive line has more depth and they brought in a lot of names that showed they do not consider their 7th rounder from 2020 to be in the competition for much yet.
57. Jesper Horsted, TE
Last Season: 49
The Chicago Bears have put an emphasis on the tight end spot, and that could have Horsted being higher and around 49 where he was last year. Still, with Jimmy Graham and Cole Kmet, they do not need him the way that they did before those names came in and showed themselves.
56. Arlington Hambright, G
Last Season: 56
Hambright was able to start last season, mainly due to injuries around him. Still, it was a good groundbreaking experience in his NFL career. The step-up shows growth, but there was little to take away from his first start. Beyond that, the additions on the line make Hambright just as likely if not less likely to see an NFL field in 2021.
