He has speed which is something the Bears can add to this offense.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/draft\/onsi\/player-profiles\/de-zhaun-stribling-has-exciting-nfl-draft-traits-teams-can-t-ignore\">Justin Melo of Sports Illustrated<\/a>, he breaks down the interviews he&#8217;s had so far:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">I had formal interviews at the NFL Combine with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks, and Los Angeles Rams. I\u2019ve had a ton of virtual meetings, I\u2019ve met with a lot of teams virtually, like the Seahawks, Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers, and Tennessee Titans, earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">In person, I am going to visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Chicago Bears, and New England Patriots.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Stribling is one of the known 30 visits for the Bears so far and the only wide receiver on the list currently. Chicago could look to add a speedy receiver like Stribling to the offense for more firepower, especially after they lost DJ Moore.<\/p>\n<p>He also talked about his game and what makes him special.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My versatility is going to bring a lot to an NFL offense. I can play any receiver spot. That\u2019s going to make me a huge asset. My speed, especially when I have the ball in my hands, makes me a threat in the open field.<\/p>\n<p>I think my overall physicality goes a long way. I can block at a high level. My football IQ is off the charts. I\u2019ve played in multiple offenses at different programs. I learned every playbook very quickly and was able to contribute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Blocking? That is right up Ben Johnson&#8217;s alley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now we know what the positions of need are for the Chicago Bears entering the 2026 NFL Draft.
