Bears as Must-See-TV, Rookie Contributions, Mack and Roquan Ready, Don’t Be a Jerk Online, and Other Bullets

Apr 30, 2019

The internet turned me into a meme, so I’m hoping that – in turn – we can raise some money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation:

Yes #Cubs fans, it’s real! The @lcm1986 meme T-shirt is now available! Comes in a variety of colors! @Cubs, if you want to make this the official shirt of #SocialMediaNight, you have my permission! A portion of each sale will go donated to @JDRF https://t.co/lrMZgJH4xD pic.twitter.com/3RmU9lJmwp

If the Bears are going to reach Super Bowl heights in 2019, their draft class must come through in a major way. Greg Gabriel (670 The Score) believes the Bears added several immediate contributors via the draft, which should go a long way toward helping the team reach its goals.

Runs like this from third-round running back David Montgomery will look good at the next level:

Doing a little film review on new #Bears RB David Montgomery. Love how he keeps his legs moving, gets through contact and breaks tackles. Turns what should have been a loss on the play into a first down here vs. Oklahoma: pic.twitter.com/0X0f5waL4X

That’s a pro-style run on 4th-and-short from Montgomery. Legs don’t stop, tackles get broken, a fourth down gets converted into a first. Running backs who move the chains are worth their weight in gold.

These guys love working together on Sundays and I love watching them:

In case you were wondering, that’s a combined 168 tackles, 18 tackles-for-loss, 23 quarterback hits, and 17.5 sacks. Be afraid, opposing quarterbacks. Be very, very afraid.

The Bears are must-see-TV, per Vegas handicappers:

It’s probably not a coincidence that the Bears are on the must-watch list and their power ranking is on the rise and comfortably, per NFL.com analyst Elliot Harrison.

Seeing the most visible Bears reach out into the community is a wonderful thing:

You can never have enough tryouts:

— Eric Edholm (@Eric_Edholm) April 29, 2019

I doubt that Corey Fatony (or anyone for that matter) is going to push Pat O’Donnell for his punting gig, but never say “never” … right? For what it’s worth, the Bears worked out Mitch Wishnowsky during the pre-draft process, so at least they kept their options open in that regard. The 49ers drafted Wishnowsky in the fourth round on Saturday, presumably because they expect to be punting a lot in 2019.

A word to the wise: If you’re going to follow Bears players (or any professional athlete) on social media, don’t be a jerk about it. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, the Bears’ official Twitter feed shared the handles of each member of this draft class:

But seriously, don’t be a jerk to anyone online. Got it? Good.

Thanks for watching the draft with me:
