It Looks Like The Chicago Bears Have An Emerging Superstar

The Chicago Bears have only three wins this season, which is a big disappointment. Despite this, there are notable positives happening within the team. Among the standout performers is linebacker TJ Edwards, who signed a three-year, $19,500,000 contract with the Bears last summer. Many initially considered this signing a steal, and his current performance suggests it was indeed a great move by Bears GM Ryan Poles. Edwards is showcasing All-Pro caliber play, and his statistics further supports this take.

Where TJ Edwards Currently Ranks Among All NFL Linebackers

TJ Edwards has been everywhere on the field, making impact plays consistently. In Week 11, he got his first interception on the season against the Detroit Lions.

But in week 10, Edwards set a Bears franchise record with 112 tackles in his first 10 games, a feat unmatched in the team's history. Considering the lineage of linebackers that have come through Chicago, this accomplishment by Edwards is remarkable.

While the recognition of an All-Pro status can be unpredictable at times, Edwards consistent performance suggests he might be a strong contender. However, the history of snubs, as seen with Roquan Smith in Chicago, raises the possibility that Edwards could face a similar fate.
