Mitchell Trubisky's rapid rise to prominence in football circles was surprising, at least on the surface. At this time a year ago, Trubisky was a relatively untested North Carolina junior who had never started a college football game.
Now, he's the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft, with the Chicago Bears trading four draft picks just to move up one spot and grab their quarterback of the future. With just one season of starting experience under his belt, Trubisky vaulted from anonymity to become one of pro football's most talked-about rookies.
Can it happen again?
