Top 10 most versatile Bears players
Several Bears showed their versatility in Monday night's game against the Vikings. With that in mind, here are senior writer Larry Mayer's 10 most versatile Bears players:
A natural tackle who Kyle Long described as "fearless" and "a throwback," Sowell replaced injured teammates at guard against the Buccaneers and Steelers
The second-year pro can play cornerback, nickel back and return punts.
The veteran offensive linemen is a versatile backup who's capable of playing both guard and tackle.
The veteran tight end not only can block and catch passes but his experience as an option quarterback in college helped the Bears execute a flawless two-point conversion Monday.
The 2016 second-round pick is a skilled pass rusher who also possesses the athleticism to drop into pass coverage.
The dynamic rookie fourth-round draft pick has shown the ability to break tackles and make defenders miss as a rusher, receiver and punt returner.
The veteran back can run with the ball, catch passes, pick up blitzes, return kickoffs and score touchdowns—as he showed in Monday night's loss to the Vikings.
The second-year pro played left guard, center and right guard in a Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers due to injuries to Kyle Long, Josh Sitton and Tom Compton.
The punter is an all-around athlete who outperformed several linemen in the bench press at the Combine and threw a touchdown pass Monday night on a fake punt.
The 2013 first-round pick has been voted to the Pro Bowl at guard and tackle and can probably play four of the five offensive line positions.
