Mike Glennon, quarterback, Chicago Bears
Glennon needs to prove himself more than ever before in 2017. The fourth-year quarterback failed to stand out with his former Tampa Bay Buccaneers team and faded under Jameis Winston’s spotlight.
Now, Glennon will have to outshine another rookie anxious to get under center in Chicago. The Bears slapped Glennon in the face when they traded a ton to move up one spot to draft quarterback Mitch Trubisky. It was only one month prior that the Bears invested in Glennon as the team’s starter.
Glennon acknowledged that this is his year, but at the same time said he is not worried about what might come his way after 2017.
“My focus is on right now, getting better every day w/ my teammates, right now this is my year and I’m not worried about the future, Glennon said.
Well, perhaps Glennon should be more concerned. If he can’t help the Bears crawl out of last place in the NFC North, his future in Chicago will be in jeopardy. Should Glennon truly stink up the place, he might not find work anywhere in 2018.
Glennon was a third-round pick from the 2013 NFL Draft. He currently sports a 5-13 career record as a starter.
