Montez Sweat Admits Shock At Austin Booker’s Progress

Austin Booker arrived with little fanfare in April this year. The Chicago Bears traded back into the 5th round of the draft to grab the Kansas edge rusher. Experts saw him as an intriguing talent in need of lots of work. He was considered light at 240 lbs and only started one season in college. It would probably take at least a year before he was deemed ready to play. Fast forward a few months and the rookie is by far the biggest surprise of August, posting seven pressures and three sacks in 50 pass rush reps across three preseason games.
