Now the Chicago Bears have two impressive tight ends on their roster. The Bears selected Greg Olsen out of Miami (Fla) in the first round of the NFL Draft to compete and sometimes play alongside veteran Desmond Clark. Clark was a huge surprise for the Bears last season as he unleashed a career year in 2006. He played in 16 games (all starts) and he caught 45 passes for 626 yards (13.9 avg) with 6 TD grabs. Look for his numbers to take a slight hit with Olsen stealing some of his playing time. Clark has now played in 114 games (66 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 218 passes for 2,522 yards (11.6 avg) with 20 TD grabs.

Greg Olsen has a few qualities that Desmond Clark lacks as he is faster and has better hands. When the Bears send their WRs on deep patterns Olsen is going to tear them up on the short stuff. Make no mistake Olsen is an upgrade on Clark both now and in the future.

John Gilmore returns to the Bears as their #3 TE. He played in 16 games (3 starts) last season for the Bears and he caught 6 passes for 38 yards (6.3 avg) with 2 TD grabs. Look for the Bears to use him as a blocker in the running game and as a red zone threat. He has now played in 71 games (9 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 18 passes for 180 yards (10.0 avg) with 3 TD grabs.
