Eddie Royal’s Chicago Bears career was off to rough start. Ryan Pace signed Royal at the start of the 2015 free agency period. Last season, he appeared in nine games and caught 37 of the 50 passes thrown his way for 238 yards and just one touchdown. Royal missed most of training camp after suffering a concussion. It looked like he was going to be another free agent bust.
So far it 2016, Royal has been a different player. In just three games, Royal has 18 receptions for 240 yards and two receiving TDs while also adding a punt return TD.
