The Chicago Bears Mitch Trubisky talk is going to get louder and more frequent as the NFL draft approaches in April. That’s just the reality of the situation. Chicago is looking hard at the 2017 class after watching injuries and inconsistent play dominate the position in 2016. Jay Cutler is aging and hasn’t played a full season since 2009. Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley flashed but are clearly backups.
Trubisky is one of the top prospects expected to be available. Chicago holds the #3 pick in the first round. It’s fair to say they must know anything and everything possible about the Ohio native who enjoyed his first and only year starting at North Carolina. A good way to help that endeavor is by comparing him to current pros.
Several have been thrown around already. Some see Blaine Gabbert. Others Blake Bortles. A few even think he is rather similar to standout Eagles rookie Carson Wentz. However, upon examining the tape the Bears brass are going to have flashbacks (nightmares) of another familiar face they know too well. One who has broken their hearts far too often.
His name is Aaron Rodgers.
