Bears roster breakdown, 90-in-90: Nick Kwiatkoski
Nick KwiatkoskiNick Kwiatkoski was a fourth-round pick for the Bears in 2016. At the time the pick was made, many fans were wondering why Ryan Pace would draft an inside linebacker after signing Jerrell Freeman and Danny Trevathan in free agency.
It turned out to be a fortuitous selection, as Trevathan’s injury has opened the door for Kwiatkoski to receive more playing time. As you would expect from any rookie, 2016 was an up-and-down season for Kwiatkoski.
After being thrust into action, he started the final seven games of the season. The stat line was rather pedestrian with 42 tackles, 1 sack, 2 passes defended and a forced fumble. But numbers usually don’t tell the full story.
