The Chicago Bears knew coming out of the 2023 season that they had a problem at punter. Trenton Gill had a decent rookie year in 2022 but failed to improve in a single category last year. That realization forced GM Ryan Poles to make a decision. If there was an opportunity to improve at punter in the NFL draft, he’d take it. Remember, most people see drafting specialists as pointless. You can almost always find good ones on the undrafted market. However, Poles knew at least one unique talent was available in the 2024 class.
