The duo were once teammates, fueling anticipation among Bears fans for the potential synergy between these two talented wide receivers. Referring to the upcoming draft,  Moore stated, “I want to say, yeah, we could add another receiver. They got some real talented ones. I know Marvin (Harrison Jr.), so that’d be a choice of mine.” His stance is grounded in the successful partnership he shared with Fields last season, during which Moore achieved career-high numbers in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, solidifying his importance as a key player for the Bears. The Chicago Bears have secured the coveted No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming draft, presenting a crucial decision-making opportunity.

Adding intrigue to the situation is the Ohio State connection between Harrison and the Bears’ current starting quarterback, Justin Fields. Fields, who had a notable stint with the Buckeyes from 2019 to 2020, shares this collegiate background with Harrison. Despite Fields’ steady improvement throughout the 2023 season, the Bears may consider leveraging his value in potential trade scenarios, especially if they believe a quarterback in the draft offers superior long-term potential. As the regular season concludes, Chicago finds itself at a crossroads, navigating the uncertainties of their draft strategy.
