It looks like the Chicago Bears may very well be targeting this Iowa Hawkeye.
As we approach the NFL draft, all eyes are on the Chicago Bears, who face a tough decision. They hold the first overall pick and have the chance to select a game-changing player like Will Anderson from Alabama or Jalen Carter from Georgia.
However, many teams are interested in the top pick, and the Bears could receive a king's ransom in exchange for it. NBC Sports Chicago has suggested that Iowa defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness could be a potential target for the Bears if they trade down.
Van Ness may be relatively unknown as he never started for Iowa, but NBC Sports Chicago is impressed with his productivity and athleticism. They praise his strength, quickness, and ability to anchor at the point of attack while still being able to pursue laterally or downhill. They also note his long arms, which help him gain leverage against offensive linemen.
Despite his lack of starting experience, Van Ness has shown his potential against top opponents like Peter Skoronski from Northwestern. The Chicago Bears could use all the help they can get, and Van Ness has the potential to be a star player for them.
In short, the Bears face a tough decision, but Van Ness could be a valuable addition to their team if they decide to trade down.
