Trying to determine just how the 2021 Bears secondary will shake out without Kyle Fuller feels like a daunting task.
Fuller was equally parts dependable and successful in his role as Chicago’s top cornerback. Even when he wasn’t playing at an All-Pro level, like 2018, Fuller’s coverage skills and willingness to get his nose dirty with a tackle made him a tough cookie to crack for opposing quarterbacks. But without Fuller, who left Chicago for Denver after being released as a salary cap casualty, there are real questions about how things will look in the defensive backfield.
Maybe Jaylon Johnson’s emergence will quiet some of those concerns.
