Bears legend Mike Singletary is team Trubisky.

The Hall of Famer told TMZ that he’s a fan of Mitch Trubisky, who had his first NFL start on Monday in the Bears 20-17 loss to the Vikings.

While the fans base is rallying around Trubisky’s potential, Singletary, who was known as the “heart of the Bears defense” in the mid-1980s, said it’ll take time to develop the Bears No. 2 overall pick.

“[The Bears need to let Trubisky] be what he is, a rookie,” Singletary told TMZ. “I definitely think there’s a lot to work with.”

Trubisky completed 12 of 25 passes for 128 yards with a touchdown and two turnovers.
