The Chicago Bears have made it known that they want to increase their defense’s speed this upcoming season.
Chicago’s free agency class from the defensive line to the linebackers to the secondary all feature players who embody that particular trait. Maybe Bears general manager Ryan Poles is a fan of Maverick and Goose from the original “Top Gun” and the iconic phrase.
“I feel the need … The need for speed.”
If Poles isn't a fan of the classic film, there is an actual reason why improving the speed on the defensive side of the ball was such a priority.
