I’ve had rookies make my 10 Most Important Chicago Bears list through the years, but I don’t remember ever having one as high as I have Jaquan Brisker this time out. The Penn State safety checking in at number 6 wasn’t something I intended, but as I do each time I compile this, I write a bunch of Bears down then shuffle the list around until it feels right.
And Brisker at this spot just felt right.
General manager Ryan Pace was ecstatic when Brisker was still on the board in the second round, and he jumped at the opportunity to make him a Bear.
