Bears' Kyler Gordon: Lining up in multiple spots
Gordon is rotating between the slot and outside cornerback spots during practices, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.
Although there's no guarantee that Gordon moves around during the regular season, when the Bears have put a third cornerback on the field, Gordon has moved into the slot on occasion. When he moves to the slot, Kindle Vildor lines up on the outside, and when Gordon lines up outside, Tavon Young has been in the slot. Regardless of where Gordon is positioned on the field, it seems that he'll be an every-down player as a rookie, giving him the potential to be a solid IDP contributor.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Onward to the Windy City
The Bears selected Gordon in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 39th overall.
Chicago bypassed receiver help to address the secondary by nabbing Gordon out of Washington. Though Gordon did not have the draft hype of teammate Trent McDuffie, there's a reason he went early in the second round. Gordon broke up nine passes and picked off two passes as a senior. He is 5-foot-11 and 194 pounds so bigger receivers will give him trouble if he has to play outside the slot. He figures to compete for reps with Duke Shelley and Tavon Young opposite Jaylon Johnson.
