Brisker should have no trouble beating out mediocre veterans DeAndre Houston-Carson and Dane Cruikshank in training camp. Brisker will add more play-making ability to the Bears secondary. The Bears had the 4th fewest takeaways last season with only 16.

Brisker is a versatile player who can play in-the-box or as a deep Safety. His coverage abilities really standout on film. He consistently is in good position to make plays in coverage.
