Five Bears Who Might Surprise Us In 2017

-

Kyle Fuller

Fuller has been expected to be gone for the better part of a year now. He missed the entire 2016 season, this despite undergoing what was considered a relatively routine knee scope last summer. Then, Vic Fangio called him out for not “champing at the bit” to return to the field. That incident all but put the matter to rest in our minds.

Fast forward to this year, and Fuller is still on the team. Sure, it didn’t make economical sense for the Bears to just release him. But still, not only is he on the roster, but there are rumblings that he will be tried out at safety along with Hall. Safety was always the best position for him. When he intercepted three passes in his first two career games, it was the instincts that flashed, not his coverage ability. If the Bears are serious about moving Fuller to safety, and they give him a fair shot, that could pay off quite well for this defense.
