The Facts: Allen Robinson’s arrival gives the Bears’ a true No. 1 receiver -- “He’s a guy that presents a lot of problems to defensive backs,” new HC Matt Nagy said -- but Gabriel’s abilities will change the offense in Nagy’s “Zebra” role. “[The ‘Zebra’ is] that third receiver who can go inside and run different,” Nagy said. “We’ll move you around. Sometimes we’ll get you on the ball, off the ball. We’ll put you in motion. But that third guy normally plays in the slot.”

Diehards Line: As Sun Times staffer Adam Jahns noted, in this case, Gabriel’s speed -- ESPN rated him as the ninth-fastest player in the NFL in 2017 -- can lead to mismatches. It opens up the field. “When you have a guy that can take the top off the defense with the safeties, again stretching the field vertically, you need that,” Nagy said. “We have that.” And don’t rule out running back Tarik Cohen as an option in the slot. Asked about it, Nagy played coy, smiling and saying “sure” twice. “Offensively, to have a bunch of different guys that can do different things is important,” Nagy said.
