🔍 What It All Means
Chicago’s visits signal a clear intent to:
Add speed and versatility to the offense and special teams
Build developmental depth at DB and WR
Identify late-round/high-character prospects with upside
They’re looking not just for Day 1 impact players, but also glue guys—those who bring effort, special teams value, and growth potential.
