The 2018 season was a breakout year for the Chicago Bears defense, and no position group stepped up more the secondary.
Kyle Fuller and Eddie Jackson made their first Pro Bowl appearances, and the entire group of young defensive backs looked like of the leagues best up-and-coming units.
Pro Football Focus says the Bears had the three highest-graded cornerbacks in the NFC North last season.
Chicago was the only team in the league with three cornerbacks graded above an 80.
Only one other team, the Houston Texans, had two cornerbacks over 80.
The Bears were PFF’s highest-graded defense overall, with the highest run defense and coverage grades of any team in the NFL.
This secondary, with the league’s highest-graded safety in Eddie Jackson, were a big part of it.
