The NFL’s best wide receiver trios: Where do the Bears rank? originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
No NFL offense looks as different from last season as the chicago bears. Just a few years after fielding arguably the least productive wide receiver unit in the league, Keenan Allen, DJ Moore and Roma Odunze They are all in line to take the field for the Bears. And each of them could be considered a WR1 on other teams.
By assembling an elite group of WRs this offseason, the Bears have worked their way up the rankings of which team has the best receiving unit in 2024. So much so, that some experts believe the Bears’ “big three” are the best in the league. .
“With the Bears’ decision to make a change at quarterback and select USC’s Caleb Williams at No. 1 overall, general manager Ryan Poles made sure his next caller was well-equipped with the tools to succeed”. Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski wrote.
Sobleski ranked the league’s best WR trios as follows:
-
chicago bears
-
Seattle Seahawks
-
Miami Dolphins
-
Houston Texans
-
Minnesota Vikings
Last year’s WR1 for the Bears was Moore, who eclipsed 1,300 yards receiving and was essentially the Bears’ only real threat on offense.
But now it has some competition. Before the draft, the Bears traded for Allen, a six-time Pro Bowl receiver, to give their future rookie quarterback another reliable option.
To complete the trifecta, the Poles selected Washington’s Odunze 9th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
According to Bears insider reporter for NBC Sports Chicago, Josh Schrock, This may be the first time in history that the Bears enter a season with the best trio of WRs in the league.
