This signing can't hurt. As long as he can catch the ball, he's alright to me.

 

Imagine the height in the red zone with Marshall, Jeffery, & Pope...

:icon_eek:

 

Yeah, Pope is only 6 ft 8 in tall. He better put that height to good use.

 

Don't forget 6'6" Bennett

 

Bennett is all you need

 

Love is all you need.

 

Love isnt gonna dominate a DE or an OLB and seal off the edge for Forte or win those jump balls in the endzone

Unless of course Kevin Love is crossing over to the gridiron. He'd be a pretty sick TE

 

The Bears need all the WRs and TEs that can catch the ball they can get.
