NFL’s best wide receiver trios: Where do the Bears stand? originally appeared in NBC Sports Chicago
No NFL offense looks as different from last season as the Chicago Bears. Just a few years after fielding the league’s least productive wide receiver unit, Keenan Allen, DJ Moore It is Roma Odunze are all lined up to take the field for the Bears. And each of them can be considered a WR1 on other teams.
By assembling an elite group of WRs this offseason, the Bears have moved up the rankings of which team has the best receiving unit in 2024. So much so that some experts believe the Bears’ “big three” are the best in the league.
“With the Bears’ decision to make a change at quarterback and select USC’s Caleb Williams No. 1 overall, general manager Ryan Poles has ensured his next signal-caller is well-equipped with the tools to succeed,” Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski wrote.
Sobleski ranked the league’s best WR trios as follows:
-
Chicago Bears
-
Seattle Seahawks
-
Miami Dolphins
-
Houston Texans
-
Minnesota Vikings
Last year’s WR1 for the Bears was Moore, who eclipsed 1,300 receiving yards and was essentially the Bears’ only real threat on offense.
But now he has some competition. Before the draft, the Bears traded six-time Pro Bowl receiver Allen to give their future rookie quarterback another reliable option.
To complete the trifecta, the Poles selected Washington’s Odunze 9th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
According to NBC Sports Chicago Bears infield reporter Josh Schrock, This could be the first time in history that the Bears enter a season with the best WR trio in the league.
