"There’s Been Too Much Talking Lately," Draft Reactions, Sky’s the Limit, and Other Bears Bullets – bleachernation.com

Aaron Rodgers, the Dark Lord of the Cheese, seems unhappy. Meanwhile, Justin Fields and his draft classmates provideA New Hope for Bears fans. Happy May the 4th to those who observe.

This will give you chills:

Justin Fields has a nice vibe and aura surrounding him. There is a certain level of confidence he has with how he carries himself. That moment when he says Theres been too much talking lately really caught my attention. This sounds like someone whos ready to get to work. And I cant wait to see him in action. All of it makes me glad he is a Bear.

Ill never be a professional athlete. But as a human, I think I can relate to the feeling that comes with getting a call relaying good news regarding something Ive been working hard to achieve.And nothing captures the spirit like this behind-the-scenes look at Bears Head Coach Matt Nagy calling Oregon cornerback Thomas Graham Jr. and informing him that he was chosen by the Chicago Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft:

Two things that stand out to me. First, the undeniable sounds of joy from Grahams end of the phone. There was a room of happy humans taking it all in as Graham was getting the call to the pros.But not to be lost in an epic moment is the honesty from Graham, relaying his frustration that he waited until the sixth round to be selected in the first place. Graham was a stellar contributor to the Oregon defense for three years. You know youre doing something right when coaches trust you to start 10+ games as a true freshman. Graham opted out of playing in 2020, which might have sunk his draft stock. But from the sound of things, Id say its likely Graham uses that as a motivating factor moving forward.

And if one needs any reminder of the ceiling a snubbed cornerback can reach, look no further than Jaylon Johnson.

The Bears dont often give behind-the-scenes looks at what happens at Halas Hall, so lets enjoy these clips featuring Justin Fields, Teven Jenkins, and Matt Nagy:

Some more draft love:

Noteworthy: Four of the top-5 worstdrafts belong to teams on the Bears list of 2021 opponents(which now features the Raiders).

Bleacher Report, The Athletic, and CBS Sports have way-too-early mock drafts for 2022. And before you mock them, let the record show that some way-too-early mocks had Justin Fields going to the Bears. The most fearless prediction one could make now is that there will be an early run on quarterbacks in 2022. Bold of me, I know.

This will get the blood pumping:

Changes coming to how you watch Thursday Night Football:

The good news is hat games will still be on over-the-air FOX stations in local markets. In other words, when the Bears play a TNF game, you wont need to have an Amazon Prime subscription in order to watch. So, you can exhale now.

Im very much here for the Bears-Cubs crossover reference:

The reference:

Much like any pitch Glenallen Hill was able to get his bat on, the sky is the limit when it comes to Justin Fields future.

Now, thats a name Ive not heard in a long time. A long time:

Nothing but love for our favorite teachers on this (and every) day:

Naturally, the Amazon Deals of the Day include Star Wars stuff, so make sure to check it out. #ad
