Bears QB Mitch Trubisky remembers the purity of high school sports

Posted Jun 20, 2018
If any NFL starting quarterback can relate to high school athletes, it’s Mitchell Trubisky. Not only was he still in high school six years ago — he’s a 2013 graduate of Mentor (Ohio) High School — but his youngest brother is ready to enter his senior year of high school. “I still remember the purity of the game, how it is at the high school level,” Trubisky said.
