Chicago Bears Special Teams Coordinator Richard Hightower joins the CHGO Bears and tells the story of 3 teams contacting him following the selection of rookie punter Tory Taylor in the NFL Draft to tell him that they would have taken him if the Bears didn’t.
and for those that thought that oh my goodness punter in the fourth round now that the dust has settled and the text messages have started between special teams coaches and coordinators Ryan Po and his staff did a hell of a job with those mock drafts and being on top of all that stuff because there was no way he was getting to the fifth round we got angry we got angry coaches on other teams saying I can’t believe you guys took him in the can’t believe that you we didn’t think you were going to do that we didn’t think you were going in a good way we didn’t we we didn’t suspect you guys we got it wrong and you guys got it right so that’s cool when you hear your peers um say stuff like that and kudos to Ryan and his staff because he wouldn’t have lasted to the to the back end of the fort and definitely would have been gone in the fifth i’ I’ve got that confirmation from three teams already

Facts. Game of field position. I cant believe Bears fans were upset about this pick. They needed a punter.
3 teams wanted him the GM in Pittsburgh wanted him 😂😂😂 Just like they want Braggs and that fraud station CHGO!
I think Mr Poles nailed this draft
This punter is literally going to WIN games. Our defense is getting a few extra pick sixes and safeties because of this guy.
Poles is playing Chess against checker players lol 😂
FGB🐻⬇️
Chasing Greatness!!!
In Poles we trust!!!
ABSOFUCKINLUTELY LOVE THIS PICK!!
And booker lasted longer into the 5th round so it made sense to take him later. Poles is a genius. Im tired of people criticizing him for taking a punter. He’s not just any punter. When we start seeing him punt 60 yarders and keeping the bears is great field position, all the haters gonna eat it!!
Ryan Poles is arguably the most competent Bears GM ever.
Believe in Ryan Poles 😉
Gill was terrible this dude will 100% be better day 1 lol
Field position is huge
Man ryan poles in year 3 built a nice power house.He tore the pace team down and built his team thru the draft.Most importantly we got our draft capital and teams owe us.Then look at the drafting he did in this 3 years
Poles killed the draft!
More evidence we have a staff that is on top of every detail including where the league is potentially drafting players we identify as special.
Like the pick. But those texts can be disingenuous. Like don't you want to give positive feed back to stupid decisions. Like don't you think Poles was like great job Panthers you guys made a great trade (after 2022)
In Poles we trust
Great pick. Poles wants to win. Flux netter.not bleep ot up
