11. He's Not Going To Block!

I'd bet he gets used like an H. Or a very large slot receiver.
With the slimming, he may be too fast for LBs & still bigger than most safeties.
I don't really think they'll use him as an all purpose TE. Could be a drag to defend on 2nd & short or on 3rd down as TE, 2 sides and him in a deep slot. Assuming Brady's fastball is still high 80s, (it's not 96 anymore) they could have a really good offense.
Me, I'm most interested in the Trubisky/Foles situation with my Bears. Athleticism vs. Savvy! I suppose the competition could make Mitch learn some savvy. Nick isn't getting more athletic.
I think it's intriguing. We've had one QB that was voted to more than 1 ProBowl in my lifetime. That was McMahon and he left the Bears 30 years ago.
Having the possibility of having 2 guys on the team that have shown flashes of excellence is a big deal for Bears fans.
