Four Bold Predictions for the 2018 Chicago Bears: Prediction One

Skipping the 50 Bold Predictions column this year. Too much work for too little payoff. Instead this space will be focused on predictions for this vintage of the Chicago Bears over the coming days.

Prediction One

Trey Burton will break Martellus Bennett’s single-season catch record for a TE by catching 92 passes.

Why?

  • The Andy Reid / Doug Pederson / Matt Nagy offense is often referred to as tight end heavy but that’s also been due to a string of terrific tight ends coming through their systems. Burton has spent time in this system, Nagy knows what he’s getting and Mitch Trubisky will rely on the tight end heavily in his first year navigating a professional offense.
