Entering the third year of Vic Fangio’s Bears defense last season, many concerns stemmed from a secondary filled with question marks. Adrian Amos was coming off a disappointing 2016. Eddie Jackson was an unproven rookie not yet starting. And the seemingly out of favor Kyle Fuller only entered the Bears’ Week 1 starting lineup because of an injury to the oft-missing Prince Amukamara.
A year later, while still growing and with a confident year behind them, Chicago’s secondary is one of the roster’s strong points. Jackson is one of the league’s solid young players poised for a titanic leap in 2018.
