Kyler Gordon

Bears DC Dennis Allen said he wants slot CB Kyler Gordon to learn a second position, either on the perimeter or at safety.

The Bears’ previous coaching staff spent two seasons trying this experiment before allowing Gordon to blossom in a full-time slot- and box-coverage role last season. Perhaps, Allen can succeed where others have failed. His intent is to “find some more playing time” for Gordon, which is understandable given Gordon’s significant on-field impact last year.
