Bears rookie offensive tackle Larry Borom is big, strong, athletic — and confident.
“I feel like I can pass protect with the best of them,” the fifth-round draft pick from Missouri said Saturday when asked about his strengths. “And I’m a big body that can run off the ball. One thing I’m gonna need to work on is smaller, little technique things regarding some things in the run game — maybe footwork here and there; hand placement. But other than that, I feel I can pass block with the best of them.”
With second-round pick Teven Jenkins expected to start at left tackle, it would be an oddity for the Bears to have two rookies at offensive tackle in 2021.
