The Chicago Bears are entering the 2023 NFL season following a tumultuous run under first-year head coach Matt Eberflus that saw the organization finish last in the NFC North with a 3-14 record. 

Still, wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, who is entering his second year in Chicago, believes that the Bears are on the "verge" of turning things around.

St. Brown, who played three years with the Green Bay Packers before signing with Chicago in 2022, spoke to Fox News Digital about the potential of the Bears’ offense, which he said played a large role in his signing a contract extension during the offseason.

"Obviously, we didn't have a great year last year, but I really liked the organization," St. Brown said. 

"I like my coaches, like my teammates. And even though we had a bad year, I can see that we're on the verge of having a great team and having a great season. I knew that the front office and the coaches will get together and turn the season around for this year, and I can already see it happening in practice and the preseason games – that we are going to be a much better team than we were last year."

He continued: "I kind of foresaw that coming, and I felt comfortable, and I felt like they wanted me. They like me, so I wanted to stay."
