Bears’ Pace-era holdovers have plenty to prove

Offensive tackle Teven Jenkins — the Bears’ top draft pick in 2021 — was a foundation piece under previous general manager Ryan Pace. But he’s already on shaky ground entering the first training camp under Ryan Poles after being demoted in OTAs.

Waiting is brutal, but early steps of Bears’ rebuild are on right track

Bears’ Teven Jenkins upbeat as move to right tackle looks increasingly likely

Whereas former GM Ryan Pace almost certainly would’ve insisted on making it work at left tackle to justify picking Jenkins so high, Ryan Poles doesn’t have to. He just wants to find a way to use him. It’s better to flourish at right tackle than fade at left.
