4 Ryan Poles offseason additions already paying off for Chicago Bears

1. Equanimeous St. Brown

Is this the Equanimeous St. Brown career season? Just saying, we called it already. Okay, like Pettis, this is a bit of an overreaction, but how about this, St. Brown doubled his career total in touchdown catches and tied his career high in that make on just one catch Sunday.

Yes, it was just one catch for 18 yards and a TD as the final tally, but for a player who has a career-high of 21 catches for 328 yards, he is on his way to competing with that mark. Some of the ways in which ESB is going to rack up stats is because he will just be on the field.

Why is that? Because he can block. Equanimeous St. Brown is the best blocking wideout on the roster, and it is why Luke Getsy brought him here. That is why he was on the field, and he sold that he was blocking, which caused the secondary to shift his eyes away from him.

This opened him up for the big catch. One big catch is not a game-changing moment, but again, it is the reality that Poles was not just adding big names. He saw how Pettis had a skill set that fits, and ESB had a skill set that fit, and thought that he could piece together a wide receiver corps. So far, he put together a team that got by in week one.
