Trubisky Then, Trubisky Now: The Growth of Chicago’s QB

Growth is a funny thing, isn’t it?

A mere seed blossoms into a redwood that dominates the sky. A lion cub becomes the king of the jungle. A caterpillar becomes a butterfly.

Growth often happens over months or years, but sometimes a few weeks are enough for something that seems weak to become strong.

Quarterbacks can be much the same way; Drew Brees spent his first three seasons with a passer rating below 75 before exploding out to a 104.8 in his fourth year. Jared Goff, Derek Carr, and Alex Smith all took time to grow before they became the threats they are today.
