3. player. 57. The other part of forging a great defense beside a pass rush is having cornerbacks who can cover. To date the Bears still haven’t put together a group that can fulfill that responsibility. Tracey Porter, Kyle Fuller, Deiondre Hall and Bryce Callahan all have potential but also significant injury issues. Vic Fangio can’t be expected to field a top unit without guys who can be on the field consistently. Preferably ones who are good at their jobs. <p>Chidobe Awuzie is good at his job. Colorado has experienced a strong season in 2017 and the athletic cornerback is a big reason why. He’s got the skill set befitting a true cover corner from the size and length to the speed and fluid agility. He plays a tough, physical brand of football not only with receivers but also as a tackler and blitzer. Leave him on an island or send him after the quarterback. He has the capacity for anything.</p>. CB. Colorado. Chidobe Awuzie
