While a lot of fans have been very critical of some of the moves made by Bears' GM Ryan Poles this off-season (or lack thereof), we are now able to see what were some of his motivations behind some signings he did make.

Earlier this week, GM Ryan Poles acquire via trade WR N'Keal Harry in exchange for a 7th round pick.

For all the talk about his shortcomings as a receiver, Harry established himself as one of the best run blockers WR. According to PFF, he held an 84.7 grade on 174 run-blocking snaps.

Here is the report made by Pro Football Focus.

As you can see, the two best on the list are actually on the Bears' roster. I think this bodes well for the Bears' run game this season. Having great blockers at the receiving position is such an underrated aspect of any offense's success. I mean, this is basically the difference between an 8-yard run and a 70-yard run on many occasions.
