The second overall selection of the 2017 NFL Draft out of North Carolina, Trubisky spent last season with the Buffalo Bills as backup to Josh Allen after four seasons with the Chicago Bears.

Trubisky featured in six games for the Bills last season, but played very little. He threw for 43 yards on six-for-eight passing with an interception and rushed for a touchdown.

For his career, Trubisky has thrown for 10,652 yards on 1,016-for-1,585 passing with 64 TDs and 34 picks.

A Pro Bowler in 2018, Trubisky is set to replace Roethlisberger, who retired after 18 years at the conclusion of last season.
