Amazing Facts Behind The Bears Mitch Trubisky Draft Pick

-

The Chicago Bears Mitch Trubisky pick was a momentous one to say the least. There is a reason nobody saw it coming. So much history went against the idea that this franchise would have the guts to take a quarterback that high in a draft. When it happened people actually seemed upset. Not because of the actual player selected, but because something expected had changed.

People don’t like change. Everybody and their mother thought the Bears would stick to the script. That meant taking the best possible defensive player available. Instead Ryan Pace did exactly what he was hired by the ownership to do:  something different. He traded up one spot to secure a quarterback. One they hope can be built around for the next decade to come.

The thing is a lot of fans don’t understand just how groundbreaking a move this is. So many amazing facts come out of it. In the interests of time though here are seven that stood out the most.
