Almost any coach or general manager will say they can’t possibly get enough defensive backs.
The Bears actually might have enough.
Ryan Pace left Ryan Poles a list of problems, but the secondary was glaring. In Pace’s final season, the Bears basically had Jaylon Johnson and a bunch of fringe players at cornerback. They had mainstay Eddie Jackson at one safety spot, but continuously paired him with short-term rentals.
In two seasons, Poles overhauled the secondary to make it the team’s strongest unit.
