Ten Players Fans Are Anxious To Watch In Camp............

The Bears used their first second-round pick to take Daniels 39th
overall. The initial impression was that the team was going to keep him
at center and move former
second-round pick, Cody Whitehair, back to his natural position of left
guard. Instead, the Bears are set to use Daniels at left guard with
Whitehair playing the center position. The transition from center to
guard is not as massive of a change from center to tackle, but there
will be some subtle differences Daniels will need to pick up on.

He is expected to get reps with the first-team offense and it will be
worth noting how he continues to progress on the interior playing next
to Whitehair and left tackle Charles Leno over the summer.

No one has a bigger personality on this Bears team than Cohen. With
that said, he understands how to back that up when on the field. Chicago
used him in a variety of different ways last season but he should see a
major uptick in production in Year 2 playing in Nagy's system. Cohen
will lineup out of the backfield, out of the slot, on the outside and
even as a Wildcat quarterback at times.

He scored touchdowns in four different ways last season: receiving,
rushing, punt return and one passing touchdown. Expect to see the Bears
move him around a lot in training camp and his new role will be fun to
watch during some of the hottest days of the year later this summer.
Expect big things from the young back in his second season in the NFL.

Miller is already someone who Bears fans have been drawn to. The second-round pick carries himself with a lot of bravado
and is not afraid to tell it like it is. Miller is someone who will
draw a lot of attention at training camp because of what he brings
Chicago's offense. He can make plays on the outside, he can play out of
the slot and could also be a candidate to get some work as a return man at some point in training camp.

The connection he will be able to make with quarterback Mitch
Trubisky will be crucial for not only his success but the success of
Chicago's offense in 2018 and beyond. Miller will also become a fan
favorite because of his hard-working attitude and the fact that he was a
walk-on at Memphis. It would not be a bad bet to place on Miller being
the first player to pick up a big gain on a passing play in camp.

Chicago had a need at outside linebacker and did not address it until
the sixth round of this year's draft with Fitts. In four seasons with
UCLA (one year) and Utah (three years), Fitts' numbers do not exactly
jump off the page. He finished his collegiate career with just 68
tackles, 14 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks. His best season came in
2015 when he recorded 20 tackles, seven tackles for loss and seven
sacks, along with 10 pass deflections and four forced fumbles. The skill
set is there, but he has struggled with injuries the last few seasons.

Training camp will be Fitts' opportunity to prove he was worthy of
being a much higher selection. There is no doubt he has the athleticism
and length to be effective in the NFL and training camp will be his
first real chance to prove to the fan base he can be a major contributor
as a rookie in 2018.

It is another year, so that means it is another opportunity for White
to prove himself. Chicago's first-round pick in 2015, White has
appeared in just five games over the course of three seasons. He missed
his entire rookie season with a shin injury before showing some signs of
life during training camp in 2016. After four games he found himself
back on injured reserve and out for the season. White had an up-and-down
offseason in 2017 but began the year as a starter on the outside. After
catching a pass in the first game against the Atlanta Falcons he broke
his shoulder blade and once again missed the season.

Expectations are low for White in Year 4 of his career, with that
said, he will still be worth monitoring because his skill set translates
to this system. Of course, that is dependent upon him staying healthy
for a full season.

Lynch is reuniting with former 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio in
Chicago who coached Lynch for one season before joining the Bears. In
his rookie season he appeared in all 16 games and made three starts.
During that time he recorded 23 tackles, six sacks and four pass
deflections. In 2015 he appeared in 14 games with 13 starts, recording
38 tackles, 6.5 sacks and three pass deflections.

In 2016 he was hit with a four-game suspension for violating the
NFL's substance abuse policy.  He appeared in just seven games that
season with three starts, recording 13 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Lynch
struggled with a calf injury last season and only appeared in seven
games last season, recording nine tackles and one sack. Since the Bears
did not do much to bolster the outside linebacker position, Lynch will
have high expectations placed on him this offseason.

The 2018 season is one of the most important of Long's NFL career. He
began his career with a bang, going to three straight Pro Bowls. Since
then he has struggled mightily with injuries. In 2016 he went down with a
severe ankle injury that required surgery. Last offseason he was slow
to recover from the surgery and began the season on the sidelines. He
was in and out of the lineup at times last year before he was shut down
for the season. He has undergone additional surgeries this offseason but
has hinted at being near 100 percent.

When healthy there is little doubt the type of overall impact Long
has on the offensive line and the offense as a whole. As a run-blocker
he offers a unique combination of size and athleticism and he
understands how to utilize that athleticism as a pass-blocker. He is as
crucial as anyone along the offensive line and being 100 percent will be
something fans will keep an eye on during training camp.

As the first-round pick of the team, Smith is going to receive extra
attention during his time at training camp. On the defensive side of the
ball it is a little bit harder to get a true sense on how a player will
make an impact considering tackling is at a minimum during the majority
of drills. With that said, Smith's impressive laterally agility and
instincts should be on display throughout the hot summer days in
Bourbonnais.

The leader of Georgia's impressive defense last season, Smith is
expected to quickly assert himself as a leader on a defense that is
currently a solid blend of young and veteran players. Fans should be
immediately impressed with the way he can control the defense and lead
the huddle, assuming coordinator Vic Fangio gives him those
responsibilities early in his NFL career. 

Just because Trubisky is not new to the team, or coming off an
injury, does not mean fans are not excited to see what he can bring to
the table in Year 2. Trubisky spent last training camp as the No. 2
behind Mike Glennon and earned sporadic first-team reps. This camp it is
going to be all about the young signal-caller. It is never good to be
selfish, but in this scenario it is going to be at Trubisky's best
interest to be selfish with the number of reps he takes in his second
training camp. Chicago's new offensive scheme under Nagy means Trubisky
will have to get himself in a rhythm in Year 2.

Trubisky was already someone fans clamored for during training camp
last year. With a solid showing as a rookie there is no doubt all eyes
will be on the North Carolina alum to make a big jump at camp this year.
