Chicago Bears: What to Expect Out of New LB Matthew Wells

On Monday, the Chicago Bears swung a deal with the New England Patriots. The Bears gave up some of their depth on the interior offensive line by sending guard Ryan Groy to the Patriots in exchange for rookie linebacker Matthew Wells. Groy is a solid offensive guard who, but the Bears certainly got the player with more upside here.

Wells was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round (178th overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft. He was mostly an unknown prospect by the masses throughout the draft process, but there is no doubting his speed, athleticism and defensive versatility on tape.
