Chicago Bears: Total offense & defense will be ranked in the top 12 

The Bears will be good in 2016. I’m certain of it.

2015 was an eyesore for Bears fans and the voyage hit a couple of rough spots by going 0-3 to begin the season and lost five of their last seven to close out the season which made things worse. Last season’s first round pick, WR Kevin White, will make his debut in 2016 as he missed last season because of an injury to his shin. White, along with WR Alshon Jeffrey, can arguably be the best one-two punch in the NFC North and it’s only a matter of time until the combo is mentioned amongst the best in the league. That duo will elevate an offense that was 21st overall last season.

The job done by head coach John Fox and GM Ryan Pace on the defensive side will improve the unit considerably. The free agency signings of LBs Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman, and the drafting of OLB Leonard Floyd, DL Jonathan Bullard, S Deon Bush, and CB Deiondre Hall has given the defense great puzzle pieces to have a unit that will make serious strides this season.
