Chicago Bears: Kindle Vildor, CB

The story surrounding the Chicago Bears this offseason will be all about the quarterback position. After another up and down campaign from Mitchell Trubisky, the Bears made a big move and traded for former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, who was out in Jacksonville following just one season — which he missed the majority of.

Foles has a better resume than Trubsiky, but like the returning starter for the Bears, he struggles to perform consistently. Even with his shortcomings, Chicago is a great place for Foles to be as this is the kind of team he can win with. The defense in the Windy City can carry the team and all they need is a quarterback who has no fear and can make all the throws, which is pretty much how Foles has made a living.

On defense, the Bears boast one of the best front seven’s in the game. They got even better when they signed Robert Quinn away from the Dallas Cowboys but they could use some help in the secondary. That’s where Kindle Vildor comes in. The fifth-round rookie was their second pick at the position after they took Jaylon Johnson from Utah in Round 2.

Vildor has a tougher road ahead of him than Johnson and he also has to overcome playing against lesser competition at Georgia Southern. Having said that, his skill in man coverage and insane confidence should carry him far and help him earn snaps on a talented defense.
