I stumbled across this storify.com article from Josh Norris earlier today, and I shared it via my Twitter (@wiltfongjr), but I wanted to expose his work to a bigger Chicago Bears’ audience than that. Norris writes for Rotoworld and NBS Sports, where he specializes in the draft and fantasy football. He shared a bunch of clips from Bears’ number one draft pick, North Carolina QB Mitchell Trubisky, on that storify page, and it looked like he grabbed most of his clips from the always interesting Draft Breakdown.
If you want to get deeper into Trubisky’s tape, draftbreakdown.com has a number of his full games available right here.
Norris highlighted a number of Trubisky’s plays, both good and bad, on his Twitter account (@JoshNorris), so I figured I’d share then here as well.
Check all these out and let us know if anything stands out in a positive way. Did anything make you say, “Oh no?” Did anything get you excited?

Like with others, I'll typically only post throws under pressure... unless they are perfect like this one. Mitch Trubisky. pic.twitter.com/zTUsXXpOGy

Trubisky is recreating your Madden game as he drifts 12 yards back on this throw pic.twitter.com/nLxMQUvfBK

4th & 6 throw before the WRs break. Loooong throw from opposite hash. Mitch Trubisky. pic.twitter.com/Rac9KDY05Z

Mitch Trubisky remains composed when forced off his spot here. pic.twitter.com/BEgvf8DPkq

Just posting this for the ridiculousness. Trubisky recognizes the screen is taken away, makes a play for the TD. pic.twitter.com/9KOs6HU0fR

This could not be an easier situation to throw from, but Trubisky stays patient through his options and hits the deep ball on 3rd & 9 pic.twitter.com/FHQK1WCkw8

Defense shifts late based on UNC's alignment. Mitch Trubisky finds the weakness with a throw leading the TE away from a defender. pic.twitter.com/oG4WL7pqsn

Mitch Trubisky does have a tendency to drift further back in the pocket, making throws 10-12 yards deep. Here's an example. pic.twitter.com/TMW5FTzRDk

Trubisky has all day to throw. Works off his primary to a secondary target. pic.twitter.com/IuTxeLzvxX

Duke sends everyone on 3rd and 10. Trubisky gets rid of it and the WR makes an outstanding catch. Good play all around. pic.twitter.com/oUQiW6YV2j

This is great work from Trubisky. Unable to step forward or finish his throw. Completion for a first down after starting with eyes MOF. pic.twitter.com/xEbCcG0qiE

Trubisky is not as athletic as Watson, but you see him make defenders miss. Sometimes in the pocket, sometimes as a runner. Doesn't fold. pic.twitter.com/INdhs2wqhn

Here it is again. Two free rushers. One picked up by RB. Trubisky's eyes are up, buys space and finds RB for first down. pic.twitter.com/3E6nP4HOQM

3rd and 7. I have no clue why Trubisky is in a hurry to leave this pocket with two LBs directly in front of him. pic.twitter.com/nHGBV0zBQj
