Film study: New Bears RB Trestan Ebner an athletic back with return value

With the No. 203 overall pick, the Bears selected Baylor RB Trestan Ebner.

Ebner serves as a reliable rotational back for Baylor in each of his last 5 seasons, playing big roles as a receiving back and as a kick returner. He is an athletic back with very good acceleration with the ball in his hands, as well as the lateral mobility needed to evade would-be defenders and serve as a dangerous threat in space. That athleticism helps him as a route runner and a receiver after the catch, along with generally reliable hands.

In addition to his athletic traits, Ebner is a tough runner with solid contact balance and a dense frame.
