Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio described Leonard Floyd’s first NFL training camp last summer as “kind of choppy” after the first-round pick missed several practices due to illness and injuries to his shoulder and hamstring.
A year later it’s been much smoother sailing for Floyd, who is benefitting from a healthy body and a year of experience under his belt. The outside linebacker has not missed a practice and is displaying the burst and explosiveness that helped convince the Bears to trade up to select him with the ninth pick in last year’s draft.
