Will the Chicago Bears reunite Justin Fields with these 4 Buckeyes?

The Chicago Bears should reunite Justin Fields with Nicholas Petit-Frere, OT
Something that’s not brought up much is reuniting a quarterback with their offensive linemen, more specifically, their offensive tackle(s).
In 2020, Justin Fields had Nicholas Petit-Frere as one of his tackles, and while the connection between them is harder to define using stats, there’s an obvious reason to believe that the Chicago Bears would want to reunite him with Justin Fields.
According to some, Petit-Frere has the potential to be one of the best left tackles in this draft class, and while this is quite a bold statement, there’s at least some truth behind it.
When reading into what Ryan Poles has preached since joining the front office of the Chicago Bears, one of his main emphases was on fixing the offensive line. Not only addressing it but fixing it. Poles was clearly unimpressed by last year’s offensive line, and as a former NFL offensive lineman himself, fans should at least hear what he has to say.
And while Bears fans have been screaming to the big man upstairs ever since the offseason began for Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears to get free agent receivers, Poles has stuck to his word— a refreshing sight for Bears fans— and addressed the problem he saw as most glaring: the offensive line.
Reuniting Justin Fields with his bodyguard in Nicholas Petit-Frere could be a much more realistic move for the Chicago Bears, and it’s a move that could save Justin Fields even more than a receiver.
