The Facts: New HC Matt Nagy said on Monday that Gabriel has been “everything we thought,” particularly when it comes to the way his speed can impact games. Gabriel cited the same asset as well as Tyreek Hill’s play with the Chiefs as reasons why he’s excited about playing for Nagy. “Speed, man,” Gabriel said. “How many ways can you use speed? You can use it in all type of different ways."
Diehards Line:
When Nagy was hired as the new head coach of the Bears, there was a lot of talk about running back Tarik Cohen filling a similar role to the one that Hill played for the Chiefs when Nagy was their offensive coordinator. Cohen is certainly going to be a big part of the offense in Chicago, but he isn’t the only big-play threat that Nagy will have at his disposal. It sounds like Gabriel shouldn't be overlooked.
