When you have one of the NFL’s best players on your roster in Khalil Mack, it can be difficult to talk about anyone else. When that player is on one of his best career stretches, the limelight feels like it won’t ever leave his presence.
Everything Mack has accomplished in his short time of three games with the Bears has been nothing short of remarkable. He’s the primary reason Chicago sits in first place in the NFC North. He deserves all the attention he’s receiving for his dominance.
In a breath of fresh air, we thought it would be pertinent to discuss some of the Bears’ supporting actors instead. It’s easy to discuss Mack and say what he does well every week, because he rarely makes mistakes and does something incredible almost every defensive possessions. However, he wouldn’t be nearly as good without some underrated Bears offering their support on both sides of the ball.
On the latest WCG Radio, lead draft analyst E.J. Snyder and I broke down some of Chicago’s lesser heralded players and how they’re factoring into a 2-1 start. How good has Eddie Goldman been after his contract extension earlier this month? What does having a healthy Bryce Callahan playing better than ever do for the Bears? We get into these unsung stalwarts and more.
