Despite the tough competition, Bears' lineman Teven Jenkins has thrived on the Bears' offensive line. He's widely considered the team's best talent on the line, alongside Cody Whitehair.
Jenkins experienced a severe injury to his back during his rookie season, keeping him out for most of the season. In 2021, Jenkins played in six games, starting in just two of them.
Over the summer, rumors had leaked the Bears were attempting to trade Jenkins on account of his inability to mesh with the new coaching staff. NBC Sports Chicago's David Kaplan reported the Bears' coaches thought of Jenkins as "wildly immature."
Outside of the rumors, Jenkins has performed exceptionally on the Bears' offensive line, and it's showing on the stat sheets.
