Bears GM Ryan Poles to hit scouting circuit with 3 college football games this weekend

0

While Bears players have the weekend off before Week 1 preparation begins Monday, general manager Ryan Poles does not.

As has been his custom, he will spend Labor Day weekend scouting big-time college football games. Poles is scheduled to attend No. 1 Georgia vs. No. 14 Clemson in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon, a source said, and fly from there to see No. 7 Notre Dame visit No. 20 Texas A&M that night. His tour ends with No. 13 LSU and No. 23 USC playing in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The Bears hope they aren’t picking near the top of the draft again in 2025, but they have a first-round pick and two second-rounders.

It's far too early to predict where the Bears will be picking or which players could be on their board, but potential first-rounders in those games include LSU offensive tackles Will Campbell and Emery Jones, Georgia pass rusher Mykel Williams and Texas A&M pass rusher Nic Scourton.

Latest on the Bears
The Bears cut the veteran Tuesday.
The general manager who brought Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and other upgrades to the Bears’ roster also is resolutely behind the coach he hired in 2022 and retained in 2024. “To keep a team together through adversity is extremely difficult.”
The Bears got a sixth-round pick for Fields, but it jumps to a fourth if he plays at least 51% of the Steelers’ offensive snaps.
