Between Webb, Charles Leno, and Braxton Jones, we sure have had some cringe moments from the LT position!

Which explains why Ben Johnson is now touting the physical traits of Wills. Remember that last year the competition was simple: Best pass blocker at LT wins.

We might find this to be a huge signing for the Bears. Wills in 2020, coming out of Alabama, was considered by many a blue-chip OLT. His injury set him back, even though he tried to play before he was fully recovered. Now, with the OL coaches we have, could he live up to his original expectations? Did we just sign a top-10, first-round OLT on the cheap, only to find he is the real deal?

That would be awesome. Wills is still young too. Between he and Braxton, we should be in OK shape, at minimum.

We have to give Poles credit for finding players . It has yet to happen, but prospects look good that this was a huge pickup. Last year he brought in DuShon Wright that was a huge add. He misses on 3 rd picks but has built this team. You cant take that away from him. He said when hired it would take 5 years. He is now in his fifth year. I think we could see a run to the SB, it may be a year away. It has done a great job. He will be remember for BJ and Caleb, not how many misses he had on draft picks. Its all about building the roster, and he did it his way.

Wills has a prototypical body and great college tape. The only thing is, he didnt just get injured, he was putting up AWFUL tape in Cleveland before he got injured.

But hes young, and he has an excellent coaching staff around him. Could he become great? Sure of course. But i want to see it with my own eyes first, because his previous NFL snaps were atrocious.

I could imagine any outcome for him now; greatness, inconsistent or terrible. Cant wait to see him in action.

Gotta disagree. As a rookie, he made the all rookie team. His second and third year, Nick Chubb was all pro.

Coaching matters. The best talents will waste in the nfl unless coaching and the team invest in them. If the player dont feel wanted they end up going through motions.

Lets hope Wills takes this new opportunity to be and feel relevant. Same with Braxton Jones and Kiran, may the best win the spot and the remaining are ready to step in.

I’ll feel better about Trapilo and Wills when I see Theo Benedet taking snaps inside. Trapilo is a better swing tackle prospect. Theo might become the ultimate game day sub if he can backup OG and OT plus he does a lot of special teams.

Don't leave us in suspense. Who's your starting LT game one?
