Trubisky had a nice college career at North Carolina. In his one year as a starter, Trubisky threw for 3,748 yards and 30 touchdowns. Going into the draft, various experts had him ranked between the first and 4th best quarterbacks available.

Apparently, the Bears thought he was a talent they couldn’t risk missing so they traded up to get him. Now, Trubisky has been fine. He can’t really throw but he makes plays with his legs. The real tragedy here is drafted behind Trubisky were Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, two of the best quarterbacks in the league of the next decade. Trubisky will never be talked about like that and the Bears traded up to get him.
