Bears Add OLB
Posted by Brian Ortegel on April 26th, 2009 in Bear Insight, Draft
Hunter Hillenmeyer has been a great find since joining the team. Last season he was injured and missed three games. Another concern is that he has had problems trying to cover TE’s.
The Bears idea to solve this problem was to draft Marcus Freeman with the 154th pick. He is 6′ 239 lb OLB from Ohio State, who has the ability to play sideline to sideline. Another great thing about him is that he can match up in pass coverage.
His downfall may be his size, where at 239lbs, he may be undersized. One way to cancel that out is that the Bears liked to blitz Hillenmeyer, so should be even more likely to do the same with an even faster Freeman.
