LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Revolutions per minute, or RPMs, are used to measure how fast a machine operates at any given time. Often throughout Kyler Gordon's rookie season, the cornerback's engine went into overdrive.
The Chicago Bears asked a lot of their top draft pick (No. 39 overall), who started 14 games in 2022. There were times Gordon took reps with the first-, second- and third-team units in training camp while rotating between multiple positions.
He sought to make every play, to be everywhere. Sometimes, he was the outside corner, while other packages required him to be at the nickel.
