Despite the Chicago Bears being told they need to address the offensive side of things they said nope and went with a true free range safety in Jaquan Brisker.
The Bears are led on the defense by Eddie Jackson, another safety, after the departure of Khalil Mack and Brisker serves as a perfect compliment to him. Brisker could be a reliable strong safety for the team as Jackson plays free safety. Again like Ebiketie, Brisker comes in from day one and starts for a team that needs good football players.
Brisker may not be a fan favorite pick with them hoping to build around the offense and Justin Fields but soon enough he is going to prove his worth. Be patient while he makes some plays, his fit is great for this team.
