The Chicago Bears doubled down on defense in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. After selecting cornerback Kyler Gordon, the Bears drafted defensive back Jaquan Brisker out of Penn State with their second pick of the round at 48th overall.
Brisker immediately upgrades a safety position that has underwhelmed the last few seasons. He’s versatile on defense and new head coach Matt Eberflus should have fun utilizing him in both run and passing coverages.
While the Bears are ecstatic with their pick, it appears the fans are not as happy they went with another defender instead of helping quarterback Justin Fields and the offense.
Here are the Twitter reactions from the Bears’ second pick of the evening.
