CBS Sports' Top 100 NFL Players of 2024 includes three members from the Bears.
Three Chicago Bears players shine on CBS Sports' pop 100 NFL list.
In an exciting development for Chicago Bears fans, CBS Sports' Pete Prisco has recently released his much-anticipated «Top 100 NFL Players» list for 2024. This year, the spotlight shines brightly on three of the Bears' own, thanks to the strategic efforts of General Manager Ryan Poles over the past three years. His dedication to building a competitive team seems to be paying dividends, as evidenced by the inclusion of these athletes among the league's elite.
Leading the charge for the Bears is cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who impressively claims the 34th spot on the list. Johnson's standout performance last season not only marked his personal best but also solidified his reputation as a premier cover corner in the NFL. With a career-high four interceptions, 36 tackles, and 10 pass breakups, Johnson's prowess on the field was undeniable.
His significant contributions last season earned him a hefty contract extension, positioning him as the team's top corner alongside Tyrique Stevenson and Kyler Gordon.
Following Johnson, defensive end Montez Sweat captured the 73rd position, a testament to his impact after being acquired in a trade last year. Sweat's exceptional season featured a career-high 12.5 sacks, ranking him third in the NFC and marking him as a key defensive player for both the Bears and the Commanders.
His unique achievement of leading two teams in sacks in a single season�a first in NFL history�underscores his formidable presence on the defensive line.
Rounding out the Bears' trio at number 84 is wide receiver DJ Moore. Moore's first season with the Bears was nothing short of spectacular, setting personal bests with 96 receptions for 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns. His remarkable average of 14.2 yards per catch highlights his ability to make big plays, a crucial factor in his role as the primary receiver on the team.
Despite the addition of high-profile players like Keenan Allen and rookie Rome Odunze, Moore remains the go-to option in the Bears' offensive strategy.
With such a strong showing from these key players, expectations are high for the upcoming season. The talent and depth of the roster suggest that the Bears could be well-positioned for another successful year, possibly adding even more players to next year's Top 100 list. The strategic blend of veteran skills and fresh talent continues to keep hopes alive for the Bears' fans and management alike.
