- Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times has reported that the chemistry between Chicago Bears quarterback Mike Glennon and wide receiver Cameron Meredith is “evident” at Bears training camp.
- Meredith played 703 offensive snaps for the Bears in 2016, and found himself as the focal point of the Bears passing attack, leading the Bears receiving corps in targets (95), receptions (66), receiving yards (894) and touchdowns (4). His PFF overall grade of 75.9 ranked second among Bears wide receivers and 51st of 115 qualifying wide receivers in the league.
- The third-year receiver was extremely effective when targeted deep in 2016, and posted the league’s second best a catch rate (70.0) on passes that traveled 20+ yards in the air. He ended the season averaging 2.09 yards per route run, which ranked 11th of 96 receivers with at least 44 targets, and his receiver rating (the passer rating a quarterback generates when targeting a receiver) of 100.1 ranked 34th.
- Should the chemistry transfer into the season, Glennon and Meredith could be a good partnership on deep routes. In 2013 and 2014, Glennon produced a passer rating of 104.2 when targeting go routes, corner and post routes, and in 2016, Meredith produced a receiver rating of 142.8 on go routes, corner routes and post routes.
