Trevis Gipson and Dominique Robinson will get most of the snaps freed up by Robert Quinn’s departure. But there’s another young edge rusher the Bears are excited to get a look at during the final 10 games.
Jonathan has only been active for two of the Bears' first seven games this season, notching two combined tackles in the Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
"He's got a really good move area," defensive line coach Travis Smith said of Jonathan."When he's kind of declaring war on an offensive tackle or guard when he's rushing. But two, he was raised in Buffalo this rookie year, and then coming here, effort. Relentless. He has been practice player of the week from a scout look because of his effort.
At 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, Jonathan notched 15.0 sacks in 43 career games at Syracuse. Entering the draft, he was seen as a high IQ, high motor defensive lineman who got the most out of his physical tools. Draft experts knocked him for the lack of size and NFL-caliber athleticism. "Kingley's here not just because he got cut and he fell in our lap. Kingsley is here because we evaluated him and we like his tools, his traits, the way he played, his effort he plays with," Smith said."We're all excited. He has been studying every week as he was going to start, even though he hasn't been starting or playing. We're excited. It's a great opportunity for him to come in and step in. I'm excited to see how he plays with more reps.
