Tight Ends

  • Trey Burton
  • Adam Shaheen
  • Bradley Sowell
  • Dax Raymond

The Bears don’t have the biggest names at the tight end position, but it is a very solid group. Burton is the definition of a solid player. Shaheen came on at the end of last season as a rookie. Sowell is an offensive tackle who switched to tight end in the offseason. He will likely be used mainly as an extra blocker in the red zone. I’m not sure how Raymond went undrafted, but I expect him to make the team after showing off his big-play receiving skills in training camp.

Player to watch: Ben Braunecker
