The Bears said from the start they’d be asking a lot out of top draft pick Kyler Gordon, and they’ve held to their word.
They immediately made him their nickel corner, arguably the most difficult defensive position for a rookie to learn, and he has played all but one snap. They insist he has elite talent and uncapped potential, but he’s off to a choppy start.
After Aaron Rodgers picked on Gordon in Week 2 and completed 10 of 13 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown when he was in coverage, according to Pro Football Reference, fledgling Texans quarterback Davis Mills followed suit.
