(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Do the Bears have potential stars ready to break out in 2021?

WBBM Newsradio’s Jeff Joniak and Tom Thayer see promising signs in at least a couple of players.

Thayer singles out wide receiver Rodney Adams, based on his performance in Chicago’s victorious preseason debut against Miami.

“I’d like to see Rodney Adams given the chance — whichever quarterback is in there — to have the attention focused on him,” he said.

Joniak agrees Adams is someone to watch. He also see a potential role for cornerback Artie Burns and other veterans on the team.

“Artie Burns is an established veteran player who in the early part of his career in Pittsburgh was a starter,” Joniak said.

The Bears host the Buffalo Bills at noon Saturday at Soldier Field. Pregame coverage will begin at 11 a.m. on WBBM Newsradio.
