Mitchell Trubisky was trying to take advantage of a rare off day and sleep in Saturday morning when his mother woke him up to deliver some surprising news.
Jeanne Trubisky and her husband were visiting their son over Labor Day weekend when the Bears acquired All-Pro pass rusher Khalil Mack in a blockbuster trade with the Oakland Raiders. When Jeanne initially told a sleepy Mitch, he didn't believe her.
"[She] came into my room and was like, 'You guys just got Khalil Mack,'" Trubisky said. "I said, 'Get out of here, I'm going back to sleep.' [She said],'No, I'm serious.' You can't wake me up with that kind of news because you just don't believe it. But he's here, we're ready to roll, getting ready for Week 1, and we're excited about it."
