Real Reason The Bears Drafted Ruben Hyppolite Was Revealed

Ruben Hyppolite was a surprise. That much was obvious from the reaction of both fans and media when the Chicago Bears selected the Maryland linebacker in the 4th round. GM Ryan Poles even joked whether the media trucks for ESPN and NFL Network would have game footage of him to play during the post-pick breakdown. The fan reaction was predictable. Some experts saw him as an undrafted free agent. Hearing that and knowing the Bears just used a valuable pick to land Hyppolite resulted in a predictable outcry.
