Jaquan Brisker has simply been spectacular so far in his rookie campaign
Chicago Bears rookie safety Jaquan Brisker has been a menace as the jack-of-all-trades kind of defender his team hoped he'd be when they drafted him in the second round of this year's draft.
Never lacking for confidence, Brisker had big plans the moment he stepped on the practice field at Halas Hall in April, embracing the idea of winning the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. And he has even bigger plans after quickly establishing himself as a playmaker through his first six NFL games.
«I'm just getting warmed up, I'll say that,» Brisker said.
Brisker is exactly the kind of player the Bears need as a foundational piece in their rebuild. He's a very talented and versatile defensive player that has the skills and potential to grow into one of the league's best safeties. For a team that traded away one of their veteran defenders�edge rusher Khalil Mack �in free agency this offseason, having a young player like Brisker step up and be successful is crucial to their current and future success.
On a rebuilding Bears team where progress � especially on offense �is so incremental it's often imperceptible, Brisker is a foundation piece who has lived up to expectations as the rookie most likely to succeed.
