OK, I’ll admit it: I am a sucker for hype videos.
And with optimism surrounding the Chicago Bears entering the 2024 NFL season, I can’t help but click on each one that comes across my nose while I’m scrolling through social media. This one, shared by the Bears’ official YouTube page, is on another level:
That was one of the best hype videos you’ll see this year. And there have been some great ones that have been posted thus far. It is the kind of video that you’ll want to share with your friends and group chats. So do it already! What are you waiting for? Get to it!
All of your favorite Bears appear in the video. Rookie first-round picks — quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze — are prominently featured. So are veterans including tight end Cole Kmet, wideout DJ Moore, and Jaylon Johnson. Head Coach Matt Eberflus and his new-look beard lineup make a cameo. Right tackle Darnell Wright, safety Jaquan Brisker, and cornerback Kyler Gordon are among the top draft picks from previous classes pieced together by General Manager Ryan Poles who get screen time. Heck, there’s even a moment when rookie punter Tory Taylor and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent come on the screen.
It’s fun. It’s hype. It’s another bit of fuel that will help bridge the gap for us as we try to make it through the work week and get to Sunday’s game day.
