LAKE FOREST, Ill. --- Chicago Bears coach John Fox drew on past experience to quell concerns about second overall pick Mitchell Trubisky's readiness to start at the NFL level.
“I think, at the end of the day, you’re trying to accumulate really good football players,” Fox said. “I’ll go back to kind of similar, opposite but similar, way back to my Carolina experience. We took Julius Peppers No. 2 overall. We got destroyed, alright, for not taking Joey Harrington at quarterback. Alright, now flash forward and it’s kind of reversed.
At the end of the day, what’s going to be key, and I don’t care who you take, what position or even what pick at some level, you’re hoping you hit a home run and you research and you work it and time tells.
