Bears’ GM Ryan Poles easily could be ‘blown away’ by a college QB. It happens all the time in the NFL.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields walks to the locker room after a loss to the Eagles at Soldier Field in December.

When a reporter asked Ryan Poles on Tuesday if he’d consider using the top pick in the draft on a quarterback, the Bears general manager said he’d have to be “absolutely blown away’’ by a college prospect to do it.

That calmed Justin Fields’ many fans, and possibly Fields himself, because the “experts” who rate college players for a living seem to think there isn’t a sure-thing superstar quarterback in the 2023 draft.
