John Fox doesn’t like being specific.
So when he was asked which position is deepest at his camp-opening press conference, we expected answers like, “Every position is strong,” and, “We’re just getting started, we’ll know more in a few weeks.”
Instead, Fox singled out the tight ends group. It might not even be the deepest position (offensive guard and outside linebackers are worthy candidates, and Ryan Pace mentioned the front seven), but it’s the most improved for the Bears not just from last season, but maybe since the days of Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark.
Really, this may be the deepest the Bears have ever been at tight end.
