#3 Trey Burton (Chicago Bears, Tight End):

Super Bowl LII - Philadelphia Eagles Media Availability
Trey Burton

The Chicago Bears are going to be one of the most interesting teams to watch this season as they did a major overhaul of their squad bringing in a number of new recruits, one of them being tight end Trey Burton from the reigning NFL champions Philadelphia Eagles.

Burton was the one who threw the touchdown pass to Nick Foles when the Eagles ran their now-famous 'Philly Philly' play but apart from that he didn't do anything spectacular as he had to settle for the backup TE role behind Zack Ertz.

But, now in a new team under a new coach, Matt Nagy, who while previously working for the Kansas City Chiefs made their tight end Travis Kelce the focal point of his offence, now offers Burton a chance to produce TE1 type production as he goes into his first season as a starter.

Teamed up with a talented quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky and an offence which favours tight ends, Trey Burton can expect up to a 100 targets and about 6-7 trips to the end zone.
