The Chicago Bears had instant question marks in the middle of their defensive line after Eddie Goldman opted out of playing in 2020. Filling that void has proven difficult for the team since then. Bilal Nichols and veteran John Jenkins have done what they can to help keep the run defense strong but it's apparent the interior run-stuffing isn't anywhere close to what it was last season.
It appears GM Ryan Pace has decided to find help. His solution is longtime Pittsburgh Steelers backup Daniel McCullers. The giant 6'7, 350 lbs defensive tackle has played in 73 games for them dating back to 2014. In that time he's amassed 41 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Based on initial impressions? This is a depth move.
McCullers is a giant body and has flashed potential over the year but never really managed to take the next step. Perhaps the Bears feel respected defensive line coach Jay Rodgers can work a little magic with him. It wouldn't be the first time.
An intriguing move if nothing else. Credit to NFL Draft Diamonds for breaking the news.
