Chicago Bears: 5 Reasons They Go Worst To First
By Erik Lambert
Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White
Most teams struggle to find even one wide receiver that has the talent of a top 10 target in the league. There is a strong possibility that the Bears have acquired two. Alshon Jeffery is already an established player. He’s been to a Pro Bowl and averaged over 900 yards per year for three seasons despite missing seven games in 2015. The size, hands and work ethic are there. Some are concerned he doesn’t want to stay in Chicago but his signing of the franchise tag and agent assurances say otherwise.
The real buzz of late though is centered on Kevin White. Experts fell in love with him during the draft process a year ago. Not only 6’3″ in size, he made heads spin when he clocked a 4.35 in the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, showcasing his unique talent. Throw in an infectious attitude and unconquerable work ethic and it feels like just a matter of time before this guy takes his place among the best in the league.
If those two play as expected, no defense on the planet will be able to stop them. Not if the running game gets its anticipated workload.
