2. Trevis Gipson

Trevis Gipson has been trending up from the day he stepped foot onto camp. He dominated all three preseason games and had possibly his best game in the last game. The Chicago Bears needed to find a hit like Gipson, and Ryan Pace has been pretty good at developing these mid-round picks.

Still, after a year of noting it was questionable what he would bring. Now, there is a chance he will be getting starters snaps by the end of the year. What is great about Gipson is that he has always defended the run well. That can get him on the field.

Now, this year we are seeing a strong Gipson and that has shown in his ability to beat tackles in pass rush. Gipson taking a huge step as a pass rusher came at the right time and everything he did this summer shows a player that should see the field more in 2021.
