Towards the end of last seasons people were starting to see linebacker Sam Acho click on the field. After dealing with injury problems in Arizona, he finished 2014 with sacks in back-to-back games. That trend has carried over to his signing with Chicago where he had a sack in each of his preseason appearances along with an interception and forced fumble. He’s currently a main reserve, but given the youth movement happening on defense, the 26-year old could be starting before the year is over.
