The Bears have some decisions to make at linebacker with players such as Nicholas Morrow and Matthew Adams set to hit free agency, but Sanborn should be set as a starter moving forward. He’s passed most tests and challenges thrown his way and coaches can’t stop raving about his work ethic and productivity. Still, head coach Matt Eberflus wants to see more from him, particularly when it comes to ball production.
“Sanborn’s been good,” Eberflus said during the team’s bye week via the Chicago Sun Times. “He’s been consistent. When I talk about linebackers, it’s about hits on the ball. Can you affect the ball? Are you tackling? Are you punching the ball? Are you taking the ball away? He’s had a lot of tackles. He’s improved his tackling…His ball production probably needs to improve.”
The Lake Zurich native isn’t a finished product yet, but the Bears see potential for him in the future. Sanborn may not ever become a superstar linebacker, but he has all of the intangibles to become a very good one. 2023 will be a big year to see how far he can go.
