Garrett Bradbury

Bradbury gives Chicago a steady, experienced voice right in front of Caleb Williams. He is a natural fit for an offense that wants its center moving, communicating and getting to the second level.

Strengths: Extensive starting experience, communication, wide-zone movement, pass-protection awareness and leadership.

Weaknesses: He is more athletic than overpowering, so massive nose tackles can test his anchor in short-yardage situations.

Bradbury is a major upgrade in certainty at center. He started all 17 games for New England last year, allowed no sacks, took no penalties and then started four playoff games through the Super Bowl. He is quick enough to reach shade defenders and experienced enough to keep a new line organized. I have him at an eight because Chicago still needs to see the fit with Williams and the new calls, and heavy nose tackles have challenged him before. But the recent tape says this is a high-level center.

Strengths: Bradbury is an excellent athlete for the position, gets to reach blocks quickly and has deep experience with protection communication. His 2025 discipline and availability demonstrate a refined, efficient approach rather than a one-dimensional run blocker.

Weaknesses: Power nose tackles can test his anchor when he must hold up alone, and he is transitioning to a new quarterback and system. At 31, sustaining the movement skills that drive his value will be important.
