On this episode of Football Night In Chicago, Hub Arkush joins Mark Carman to discuss the NFL Draft. Hub talks about the quarterbacks in this year’s Draft class.
Was a future Bear in the crowd for Monday's White Sox game?
Minnesota center John Michael Schmitz attended Chicago's road victory over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.
Schmitz is a Flossmoor, Illinois, native and apparently a White Sox fan, as well.
Schmitz was already a popular 2023 NFL Draft prospect among Bears fans, but his White Sox fandom has endeared him to them even more.
Schmitz, who stands 6-foot-3.5 and weighs 301 pounds, was a three-year starter with the Gophers. After being named to the Second Team All-Big Ten in 2021, the 24-year-old redshirt senior earned First Team All-Big Ten and All-American honors this past season.
Schmitz projects to be a Day 2 pick, where the Bears hold two second-rounders (Nos. 53 and 61) and one third-rounder (No. 64).
