Every time someone writes that the Chicago Bears’ defense is sure to regress in 2019, I wonder if they realize that Roquan Smith had 121 tackles, 5 sacks, 8 tackles for loss, and an interception as a 21-year old rookie with no training camp a year ago. Smith has super star potential, and he and Danny Trevathan make up the best 3-4 inside linebacker tandem in the NFL.
Trevathan racked up 102 tackles of his own as he played the best season of his three year Bears’ career, while still providing quality leadership on the field.
