The Chicago Bears saw a lot of turnover in the first few months of Ryan Poles. With a lot of the Ryan Pace players heading out of the door, Poles is giving young, and fresh faces plenty of chances to prove their worth.
With that in mind, some players are going to take advantage and make it the most productive year of their career.
3. Equanimeous St. Brown
It is not going to be too hard to Equanimeous St. Brown to beat his career-best marks. 37 catches for 543 yards and a touchdown would be a nice year for him where he stands right now, and those are his career numbers through three NFL seasons.
His career-best numbers are 21 catches for 328 yards. Seems doable. That is mainly because he is going to get a chance he has never gotten before. With Byron Pringle banged up, and Velus Jones dealing with some injury questions as well, it has ESB firmly as the wide receiver two entering the season.
The Chicago Bears really like him because he adds a blocking component., but the reality is that he is going to see the field a ton early into the season. With his size, speed, familiarity with the Luke Getsy offense, and the playing time that he is going to be getting it is easy to see why he is not only likely to have the best season of his career, but also may be in a spot where he can top his career-long numbers in just one season with Chicago. It would only take one or two good games.
