Inside the Bears’ Covert Op to Draft Mitchell Trubisky

Posted May 3, 2017
Mitch Trubisky says he had 10 dinners with NFL teams, but this one was different. “This felt like my favorite group of coaches that I met with,” he says. “I felt like I was really connecting with them. Like I went on the best first date...and then they never called. And it’s like, OK, I guess they weren’t feeling it.” The Bears felt the same spark, but their ghosting was strategic.
