This Chicago Bears has a very specific skill set that makes him a nightmare for those who oppose him.
He will find the field. He will take the snap. He will pin you. And there is nothing you can do about it.
While the kingpin of the streets of Chicago may have been Al Capone once upon a time, that is not the man I speak of now. The man I speak of will hopefully be recognized as the newest (and much more friendly) "King Pin."
Meet Tory Taylor, former Punter for the Iowa Hawkeyes and current Chicago Bears' rookie.
The Chicago Bears are set to lead the NFL in this surprising statistic due to the arrival of Tory Taylor.
I know that there are people who will read this and think, "Really? You're focusing on a punter?" The answer is a resounding yes. I firmly believe that people are underestimating the impact of a player who can do what Tory Taylor does.
I didn't call Tory Taylor the "King Pin" for my own benefit. I called him that because I've never seen a college football punter who pinned their opponents as consistently as Taylor did. The highlight reel that Taylor put together during his Hawkeyes career is superb.
Yes, this is a 1:41 punt highlight reel.

This man was legitimately the greatest weapon for the Iowa Hawkeyes last season. They won games because of the field position advantage that Taylor consistently gave them.
While that may be seen as an indictment of Iowa's offense (and it is), it is still an unreal endorsement for Tory Taylor. I don't believe I have ever labeled a punter as a weapon until I watched Taylor's highlight reel. There is no other way to describe him.
How can a punter be a weapon? I'll tell you.
Tory Taylor will directly cause the Chicago Bears to lead the National Football League in safeties this upcoming season.
The consistency with which Taylor pins his opponent deep inside their own red zone is uncanny. It is not something that is considered normal in the NFL. Yet, the Chicago Bears will have this advantage often due to Taylor's unique skills.
With opponents backed up in their own territory, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is going to have a field day being aggressive in order to score two points and get the ball back. Bears defensive end Montez Sweat is going to be licking his chops.
Anyone that dared complain about this pick will be so excited when Montez Sweat gets a safety after Tory Taylor pinned the opponent inside the 5 yard line https://t.co/bFmgaB1k8P

Causing the Chicago Bears to lead the NFL in safeties means the "King Pin" of punters, Tory Taylor, will be the greatest punting weapon in the NFL, and I'm here for all of it. I can bet you will be too.
