Those who know Mitchell Trubisky believe he's ready for debut
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- It’s all about embracing the moment, whether it’s an NFL regular-season debut on Monday Night Football or being thrown into a varsity game in Cleveland Browns Stadium as a sophomore in high school.
Mitchell Trubisky rose to the moment on that 2010 afternoon when Mentor (Ohio) High School coach Steve Trivisonno needed a spark, down 21 to the eventual champion in the football-crazed state. Trubisky rallied with a 46-yard touchdown pass, but it wasn’t enough, as St. Edward won 35-21.
“You knew he was going to be a special kind of kid,” Mentor quarterbacks coach Nes Janiak told ESPN while recalling that game.
