2024 rookie stat projections for the Chicago Bears' recent draft class

Tory Taylor

60 Punts, 50.2 average, 35 Punts inside the 20

Speaking of adjustment periods, I don't think Tory Taylor will have one. The Punt God is going to be a weapon. I fully expect Taylor to step in and immediately establish himself as one of the league's best punters. He will be pinning opponents back and putting the Bears' defense in position to succeed from the start.

Much has been said about Taylor's innate ability to leave opponents in the shadow of their goal line with his elite ball placement. I expect that aspect to transfer over the pros and pay dividends in year one.

Oh, I also think his punting average will be near the top of the league. Because he's got a BOOT. Buckle up Bears fans! We won't have to worry about the punter position for the next decade!
