The Bears need to sort out who their kick and punt returners will be.
While fans are focused on quarterback Justin Fields and the Bears offense, the Bears are investing plenty of time into figuring out who is going to take on key special teams roles.
A good return specialist can change the course of a football game -- look no further than legendary Bears returner Devin Hester.

Tyler Scott The rookie fourth-round draft pick is a bit of a wild card. His speed at the wide receiver position has the Bears intrigued by the possibilities on special teams. Scott has worked on fielding punts, despite never fielding a punt in college. "Every time a correction is made, he never makes the same mistake," Hightower said."I love that about him."
