In a cover story for Esquire magazine, the Bears QB talks Eberflus, goals and the friendly nature of the NFL

A Chicago Bears quarterback being on the cover of a lifestyle magazine is pretty unusual.

Mostly because Bears QBs haven’t been magazine cover material since the days of Jay Cutler or before that Jim McMahon. And while being on the cover of a magazine isn’t as big of a deal as it once was (gather ‘round Gen Z while I tell you what print media is, kids!), it’s something worth mentioning.

Anyway, Caleb Williams is on the cover of this...

Six mock drafts, six different directions for the Bears.

Let’s round up what some of the NFL Draft experts think the Chicago Bears will do in next week’s draft.

Nate Tice and Charles McDonald of Yahoo Sports alternated picks in their latest mock draft, with Tice getting the even numbers and the Bears.

10. Chicago Bears — Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Let’s keep juicing up that Bears offense. I was tempted to give the Bears another player on the trenches to work with (Will Campbell and Derrick Harmon were both considered), but instead go with Loveland. I...

The Bears should draft a running back in the top ten? Yes they should!

It’s a new regime in Chicago. Ben Johnson is here, and the Chicago Bears are going to start thinking differently about how to approach roster building.

What we know currently is that how the Bears have approached roster building the last three years largely hasn’t worked. This isn’t to turn things into a bash Ryan Poles article, but when you’ve averaged 5 wins a season for three years, things aren’t going like you would have hoped.

How much of that was poor coaching? We will certainly...

The RB class is elite this year. Here are Bryan’s takes on the top ten, who he would compare their running styles to, and if he thinks they’re a fit for Chicago.

#2: TreVeyon Henderson - SPEED

TreVeyon Henderson has been a mostly fun study. As a childhood fan of the Michigan Wolverines, I’ve paid close attention to the UM vs. OSU rivalry. As a true freshman at Ohio State, TreVeyon Henderson led the Buckeyes with 1,248 yards on 183 carries (6.8 yard average - tops in B1G Ten) with 19 TDs (4 receiving) with an additional 312 yards...

Poles locked up Kyler Gordon until 2028 to add to his already remarkable offseason. Would you do anything differently?

Crown ‘em! King Poles’ successful offseason continues to hum along with the widely lauded extension of Kyler Gordon.

Throughout his tenure, one of Ryan Poles’ best skills has been to find value in the extensions of talented players. His extensions of Jaylon Johnson and Cole Kmet look fantastic in retrospect, as neither player is being paid higher than 8th at their respective positions. So the extension of the versatile Gordon at a $13.3 million rate bodes well.

Going into the offseason,...

The Athletic for whatever reason decided to fill the pre-draft void with a re-draft of last year’s NFL Draft.

The NFL Draft is such a silly thing in many aspects.

An entire industry is built on analyzing, ranking and mocking players for teams and fans. The draft occupies so much of the NFL offseason and at the end of the day, it’s a very long, over-produced and commercialized ceremony of guys having their name read at a podium.

But it is important for the future of the team’s fans love. The draft can change the fortune of franchises and turn...

Poles’ first-ever draft pick with the Bears got new paper, and it makes everyone look good.

Everything’s been coming up Ryan Poles so far this off-season as the Chicago Bears prepare for the NFL Draft next week.

A new head coach who can help unlock his franchise quarterback.

A revamped offensive line.

Now, his first-ever draft pick, cornerback Kyler Gordon, just got paid—and deservingly so.

But Poles signing the versatile nickel corner to a market-setting three-year, $40 million deal isn’t just a win for the player, who has rebounded from early injuries to become one of Chicago’s best overall players....

The 2025 NFL Draft is inching closer and closer. With the Chicago Bears addressing their biggest needs during free agency, the focus will now turn to lower-value positions like running back. With a brand new coaching staff and blocking scheme in place, we’ll take a look at 10 running backs who best fit.

The NFL world has swiftly moved on from Free Agency and has, in turn, shifted its focus to the 2025 NFL Draft. The Chicago Bears are no strangers to the general consensus around the league, believing they’ve had a strong offseason. We’ve been here before, as recently...

Lester made our pick in the 2025 SB Nation Writers’ Mock Draft!

In case you missed it, I managed to trade back from the tenth overall pick in our 2025 SB Nation Writers’ Mock Draft with the Denver Broncos for their first-rounder (20th overall), their 2025 second-round pick (51st), and their 2026 fifth-round pick. Shout out to Denver’s Mock GM Scotty Payne, Senior Writer at Mile High Report, for making the deal.

To catch you up, here’s the SB Nation Mock Draft story stream on how the mock draft has gone so far, and here’s where I went in the...
