3 Chicago Bears primed to make their first All-Pro

The Chicago Bears are looking for some big steps forward from plenty of key contributors. A young team hitting its stride at the right time could mean multiple players seeing new heights together. There are a few candidates on the Bears to make the All-Pro this year.

The All-Pro is a higher achievement than the Pro Bowl when you consider it is the top team in the NFL, not just per-conference. The team size is smaller as well. So, who are some players that could find themselves hitting that top spot?

3. Tremaine Edmunds was paid to make All-Pros with the Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears made a bold call to move on from Roquan Smith just to pay Tremaine Edmunds. To be fair, they got the draft pick for Smith, and they paid Edmunds a bit less. Still, the thought was that they would not spend big on linebackers, and they spent big on linebackers.

What would be a major win for both Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus would be Tremaine Edmunds playing as well, or better than Roquan Smith does with the Baltimore Ravens. When Smith changed teams, he ascended to All-Pro status. It was the right fit.

The Chicago Bears seem to think that Edmunds is the better fit, and it does make sense when you think of how much Edmunds can impact passing over the middle of the field. Eberflus has a great track record with linebackers and would not just hand that type of money to anyone. They think he can be one of the best linebackers in the game, and now it is time to see if they are correct.
