Bears DE Dayo Odeyingbo believes he's ready to break out

The Chicago Bears prioritized the trenches during free agency, which included the signing of defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo to shore up the edge opposite Montez Sweat.

The Bears pass rush was average last season, totaling 40 sacks with Sweat leading the way with 3.5 sacks in a down year. With the arrival of new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, getting after the quarterback is a prime focus. Enter Odeyingbo, who believes he's just hitting his stride and is ready to break out.

"I still believe I'm just at the beginning," Odeyingbo said in his introductory press conference.
