During Vic Fangio’s recent session with the media at training camp, the defensive coordinator expressed excitement about outside linebacker Leonard Floyd’s continued development.

Bears outside linebacker Leonard Floyd sacks 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert in the end zone for a safety last year at Soldier Field.

A year later, Floyd has been one of the most impressive players in camp. He’s playing faster because he has a firmer grasp of the defense and he has yet to miss a practice.

“He’s got really good potential,” Fangio said. “I think he’ll be a very good player for us and looked upon as a very good player in the league.
