Sanborn plays with the straight-line, physical temperament Bears fans recognize. He may not be the flashiest athlete in the room, but he has already shown he can step in and compete when needed.
Strengths: Instincts, physical run defense, familiarity with Chicago and emergency starting experience.
Weaknesses: Range in space can be tested by speedier offenses, and the current depth chart limits his projected defensive snaps.
