10 Most Important Bears of 2020

“What potential impact they may have, how much the team will look to the individual for guidance or leadership, how badly the team would suffer if they lost the player to injury, and other intangible attributes.”

These are some of the things we look for when compiling our annual list of the 10 Most Important Chicago Bears for each upcoming season.

Importance is subjective, so your list may look differently than ours, but one things for certain... If these ten Bears players/coaches don’t perform up to their capabilities then the odds of the team bouncing back in 2020 will decline.

If these ten do their jobs, this team is getting back into the postseason.
