Top-5 Bears impact players

Related Topics: Mike Glennon

In the fifth spot is starting quarterback Mike Glennon. Glennon has paid his dues in his first four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as he has earned the right to start for the Bears this season.

In 2013, Glennon started his career on fire setting Buccaneers franchise rookie records with 2,608 passing yards, 19 passing touchdowns and passer rating at 83.9, according to the Chicago Bears official website. He continued his steady production until losing his starting role in 2015 to number one pick Jameis Winston in the 2015 NFL draft. In his fifth season at 27-years-old, Glennon is primed to have a solid year if he can manage to maintain his starting job over rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.
