Last night in Ottawa, rookie Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs had a remarkable and history making opener when he scored 4 goals in the Leafs 5-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Yeah, I’m talking a little hockey here...
His sensational debut got me wondering how Chicago Bears’ rookies have fared in their initial games. I couldn’t think of any historic introductions to the Chicago sports scene, so I took to Pro Football Reference* to try and find a few noteworthy Bear rookie debuts.
I’ll run down a few I came across and if you have any stored away in your memory banks, be sure to share them in the comment section.
