Chicago Bears: Ranking the top 10 potential wide receiver targets
By Ryan Heckman
Here at Da Windy City, we have mentioned Paul Richardson quite a bit over the course of the last month or so. He seems to be a guy that a lot of us feel would fit quite nicely in the Nagy offense.
Like many of the available guys this offseason, Richardson’s biggest question is health. Over the last few seasons, he has missed 17 games, including 15 in the 2015 season due to a torn ACL.
But, also like a couple other guys on this list, Richardson has a knack for the big play.

Last year was Richardson’s best year as a pro as he caught 44 balls for 703 yards, good for 16 yards per catch. He also caught six touchdowns.
The 25-year-old Colorado product has flashed big-time speed and athleticism ever since entering the league as a second round pick in 2014.
There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Nagy is going to be looking for the Bears’ version of what he had in Hill with the Chiefs, but the biggest question is who that will be. Obviously, Hill is in a category of his own, with the incredible speed he possesses. But, schematically speaking, Nagy could more than likely find someone who could fill a similar role.
