Bears' Matt Eberflus Lone NFL HC to Attend Bo Nix's Oregon Pro Day Before 2024 Draft

Only one NFL head coach, Matt Eberflus of the Chicago Bears, attended Oregon's pro day, which featured quarterback Bo Nix.

Albert Breer of The MMQB provided the news regarding Eberflus, who reportedly led a large group of Bears representatives in Eugene.

The Bears own the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, and the tea leaves suggest that USC's Caleb Williams will be heading to the Windy City.

The B/R NFL Scouting Department currently ranks Nix as the fifth-best quarterback prospect in the draft but provides an exciting pro comparison to the Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts.

Of course, the Bears could be looking at other big-name prospects at Oregon's pro day. ESPN's Courtney Cronin notably mentioned center Jackson Powers-Johnson as being "the draw" here.

Powers-Johnson is 18th overall on the B/R NFL Scouting Department big board. Other notable names include cornerback Khyree Jackson (No. 40), defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus (No. 59), wide receiver Troy Franklin (No. 76) and running back Bucky Irving (No. 107).

Powers-Johnson could notably help fortify the offensive line as an immediate Day 1 starter. The Bears also need more help at wideout, especially with Darnell Mooney leaving in free agency for the Atlanta Falcons.

Ultimately, it wouldn't be a surprise to see an Oregon Duck land in Chicago.
