The Bears report to Bourbonnais in two days, which is the amount of Pro-Bowl players they had a year ago.
In compiling this countdown I've been pouring over last year's team looking for players who have streaks, stats or records that are ongoing or could break franchise marks from years past.
Sadly though there are very few of these, especially on the defensive side. The deficiency of talent (or lack of ability by coaches to bring it out) is glaringly obvious when looking for items such as these.
After years of having so many familiar faces on the Bears' defense, it is odd to look over the roster and note that so few of those players have been around for more than a couple of years.
