Mitch Trubisky takes a huge shot at Matt Nagy and Co.
Mitch Trubisky has been one of the most influential and debated picks in Chicago Bears history. Even though he was selected highly in the 2017 NFL draft, he still failed to live up to the lofty expectations of being the guy drafted ahead of Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.
After a short stop in Buffalo, he signed a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers this off-season.
His arrival in Pittsburgh is in no way how he landed in Chicago five summers ago. This time around, he was signed early in free agency, and his new team backstopped his acquisition by drafting a quarterback in the first round. And that reflects the difference in expectations too. Few outside this place are predicting Trubisky will finally harness the talent that made him a high-first-round pick in the first place.
Trubisky mentioned a very interesting thing about his take in Chicago and the difference with what he feels in Pittsburgh.
«In Chicago, they wanted me to play the coaches' game. Call it whatever you will, that's just how it felt to me.» - Former Chicago Bears QB Mitch Trubisky told @AlbertBreer
«I always put a lot on myself, just because of what I expect out of myself,» Trubisky told me a few minutes later. «But it's just a totally different situation being the No. 2 overall pick. I was a lot younger at the time. Now I have a lot more experience, a lot more perspective.»
«I have a lot more experience, and not just football experience, world experience�going from a team to a different team, going from a starter to a backup, learning a lot, being around a great organization in Buffalo, and now having an opportunity here,» he said. «Being in Year 6, being in a competition, trying to win a job again and lead the team, I feel like I've met a lot of great people along the way. It's been a crazy 18 months.»
