Chicago Bears: 3 surprise players who could make roster

Which Chicago Bears will surprise fans by making the roster out of training camp?

We are almost within two weeks of the Chicago Bears reporting to training camp, which is scheduled to kick off on July 25th. At this point in the offseason, the level of anticipation is reaching an all-time high. Fans are probably getting a little stir-crazy, waiting for the new season to officially kick off.

In fact, there are a number of countdowns on social media, ticking off the days until the Bears open up Week 1 at Soldier Field against their most hated rivals, the Green Bay Packers. It is going to be an epic event, especially considering the bad blood between the two teams and some of what transpired this offseason.

But before the two teams suit it up and smash heads, a lot has to transpire. First and foremost, the team has to decide — you know — who will actually suit up to smash the aforementioned heads.

Training camp will go a long way in determining that, as it is shaping up to be a very exciting one with a number of positional battles to keep an eye on. The wide receiver and tight end groups immediately come to mind. But another important storyline to watch is how the Bears will fill out their roster and which, if any players, could surprise everyone by earning a spot on the team? We identify three players who are candidates to do just that.
