After showing little interest in during the pre-draft process, the Bears shocked the quarterback Thursday night by trading up one spot to select him with the second pick in the first round.
"I didn't see that coming at all," Trubisky said during a conference call with the Chicago media. "I was surprised. I'm glad they came up and got me at No. 2. I think it shows that they believe in me, and I believe in what Ryan Pace and coach [John] Fox are doing in Chicago and I can't wait to be a part of it."
After redshirting his first year at North Carolina and then backing up Marquise Williams the next two seasons, Trubisky made the most of his opportunity to finally be the No.
