In 13 days, Kyler Gordon will make his NFL debut against Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and the 49ers. But he’s unfazed by the gravity of the moment. This is where he always knew he’d be.
Where some saw mishaps, the Bears saw a guy with the athleticism, body movement, and self-belief to survive and thrive at the highest level.
"Because in the course of a game you've got to adjust, adapt, overcome as a player and also as a unit as a football team, to get it done. So, yeah, he's in a good spot."When he arrived as a second-round draft pick, the plan was to have him work solely at outside corner in Year 1. That changed when he arrived at training camp as the Bears asked him also to learn the nickel responsibilities.
The confidence, intelligence, and desire to be great have Gordon bracing to take the field as a starter against the San Francisco 49ers, a team the rookie has already started doing homework on, in Week 1. "I reached out to him as soon as they drafted him," Johnson said."Really, just trying to find ways to help his game improve. I really got a sense of understanding his type of play when he got here. But now it's really trying to bring him along, see what he's comfortable with. I'm really just giving him little tips each and every day, each and every situation I see, that he can get better at. Just giving him my opinion on it.
