When Roquan Smith was still a hold-in last week, Bears linebacker Nick Morrow was asked if playing next to Smith was one of the reasons he signed with the Bears in free agency.
“No,” Morrow said. “The biggest reason I wanted to come here is one —opportunity; and I have been following coach [Matt] Eberflus for a while — I enjoyed his scheme and wanted to be a part of it.”
Fair enough. With his speed/physicality quotient, Morrow is a natural for Eberflus’ defensive scheme — and could end up being another prime example of Eberflus’ knack for putting the right player in the right spot that worked so well with the Colts.
