Among the Buffalo Bills players to watch, Mitchell Trubisky starts against old team

‘By now, you know the story. The Bears over-drafted Trubisky in 2017, trading all the way up to No. 2 overall to pick a player who’d been a full-time starter in college for just one year at North Carolina. Oh, and they picked Trubisky instead of Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, each of whom were taken a couple hours later in that first round.’

‘“It’s just really nice to be part of a great team and be somewhere where people want you here and they care about how you’re progressing as a person and as a player,” Trubisky said recently in his first interview since signing with the Bills. He’s looked good in camp but only got a chance to throw two passes last week against the Detroit Lions. It’ll be interesting to watch and see if offensive coordinator Brian Daboll opens up the playbook just a bit for Trubisky on Saturday.’

‘It will be interesting to see what kind of reception Trubisky receives Saturday, both from former coaches and teammates as well as Bears fans. Despite his consistent inconsistency and pronounced struggles on the field over four seasons, Trubisky remained respected and well liked for the most part until his final days at Halas Hall.’

Ex-Bears QB Mitch Trubisky doesn’t deserve boos in return to Soldier Field

‘He never lost support from people in the building, including the locker room, because he worked constantly. This isn’t a guy who squandered his chance through recklessness and entitlement. His shortfalls in mastering the playbook and reading defenses weren’t from a lack of trying. He was gritty. And he never dodged blame.’

‘”When the game’s going on, we’re going to do everything we can to stop him,” Nagy said. “When the game’s over, we’re going to be friends and have good stories. So that’s the part of life in the NFL for all of us, but it is a relationship business and I think it’s important that everyone understands that on our end we care about him as a person.”‘

Nagy: Bears respect Trubisky, but want to beat him on field

‘“The respect that we have for him as both a person and as a player, I think everybody here has that for him, all his teammates and coaches,” Nagy said. “We wish him nothing but the best. When the game’s going on we’re going to do everything we can to stop him. When the game’s over we’re going to be friends and have good stories. That’s the part of life in the NFL for all of us, but it is a relationship business and I think it’s important that everyone understands that on our end we care about him as a person.”’

Trubisky Gets Fresh Start As Backup QB In Buffalo

‘This was not the role Trubisky was aiming for at the start of the offseason. Following a turbulent four-year stint with the Bears — which included both a trip to the Pro Bowl and his eventual demotion — the second overall pick in 2017 was expecting his share of suitors in free agency.’

Hollister brings more than just a familiar face to Bills offense
