Enis had his 1998 rookie season cut short when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in week nine. Enis returned last season, but he was not met with success. He didn’t hit the hole the way he usually had, and his reduced size limited his ability. Enis dropped to 225 pounds while rehabilitating from his injury.

Now, Enis is up to 250 pounds, past his rookie-year weight of 240 pounds. His muscles are fine-tuned, and he appears to be in tip-top shape. The Bears have been very pleased with Enis’ conditioning regimen and are looking forward to a breakout season, if for nothing else than the fact that it’s his contract year.

ProFootballWeekly.com asked contributing editor Joel Buchsbaum and associate editor Jeff Agrest for their thoughts on Enis.

Q: What are people saying about Enis?

Buchsbaum: He’s got his weight back up and he’s finally healthy. Now he just has to go out and do it.

Q: Why hasn’t he lived up to expectations?

Buchsbaum: He had the holdout, and he didn’t start great before the injury.

Q: Does the Bears’ wide-open passing offense help Enis or hurt him?
