Jamree Kromah exploded onto the scene with a jaw-dropping preseason outing, racking up 6 tackles, 2 sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery against the Cleveland Browns. Can this former James Madison and Rutgers defensive end make the leap from third-string on the Chicago Bears depth chart to a key rotation piece in a suddenly vulnerable defensive line? With Montez Sweat battling injury, every snap now takes on added importance. On the backend, Beanie Bishop Jr. delivered an A+ performance as well, snagging 2 interceptions and 3 pass breakups while showing the athleticism and instinct to push for a bigger role. The Bears secondary—already unsettled with Tyrique Stevenson and Kyler Gordon—is now wide open for someone like Bishop to make waves. Will Chicago’s next-man-up mentality drive another league-leading takeaway season?
