After a hectic off-season filled with change and optimism, the Bears will report to training camp in five weeks with the highest expectations they’ve had in some time.
With more accountability preached by Matt Nagy, comes a lower margin for error: which means that the spotlight on Bears general manager Ryan Pace becomes brighter in the event that results don’t come as expected. After five straight seasons of failing to jump above the .500 mark, not only is success expected but it must be sustained by the Bears. This ”sustained success” that Pace often preaches must come from the development of their more recent draft classes.
