As the Chicago Bears begin their 2023 campaign, there's plenty of optimism from the fan base about the potential success of this team. Justin Fields took meaningful strides forward as a leader and playmaker in 2022, and a revamped offensive line coupled with a couple of sweet new weapons should translate from potential on paper to on-field results. GM Ryan Poles also blew up the defense through last year into the past offseason, and at the time of writing, the following starters on defense are new to the team:
- Demarcus Walker
- Andrew Billings
- Yannick Ngakoue
- TJ Edwards
- Tremaine Edmunds
- Tyrique Stevenson
