The Bears only needed to see Anthony Miller play 47 preseason snaps — about 13 percent of their total — to know what they’ll have in the second-round pick when the games begin to count on Sunday night.
What Miller did on the practice fields of Olivet Nazarene University and Halas Hall stood out to the point where coach Matt Nagy didn’t feel the need to get a rookie wide receiver as many reps as possible.
“We understood how he was going to start fitting into this offense, to what role, and what we did was kind of pull back and say, ‘He fits physically, but where does he fit mentally,’” Nagy said.
