Almost three months after the Chicago Bears’ breakout 2018 season, the accolades continue to roll in.
Matt Nagy was already named Coach of the Year, and now the man who hired him is bringing home an honor of his own.
Sporting News named Bears general manager Ryan Pace the Executive of the Year.
The award was voted on by executives around the league who agreed Pace had the best year.
It started with hiring Nagy, followed by a strong free agent group and a draft class that contributed from day one.
Then he put the cherry on top with the Khalil Mack trade in September, setting the Bears up with their best season since 2006.
The success the team had on the field was a direct reflection of what Pace accomplished in the offseason prior, culminating in an Executive of the Year caliber season.
