The last time Bears head coach Matt Eberflus was part of a team with a rookie as its primary quarterback, it was by accident.
In August 2016, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo broke his back during the third preseason game. Dak Prescott, the team’s fourth-round rookie, took over — and would eventually become the Offensive Rookie of the Year and go to his first of three Pro Bowls.
“The whole team rallied around him,” Eberflus, who was the Cowboys’ linebackers coach then, said Friday before the Bears’ first rookie minicamp practice at Halas Hall.
