Mitch Trubisky will soon do something that no one since Aaron Rodgers in 2008 has done: make his NFL debut on Monday Night Football.

After reports surfaced saying the Chicago Bears will start Trubisky in Week 5 on Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings, Evan Kaplan of ESPN pointed out the North Carolina standout will be the first first-round pick to make his first career start on MNF since Rodgers in 2008.

Mitchell Trubisky will the first 1st-round pick to make his 1st career start on Monday Night Football since Aaron Rodgers in 2008 — Evan Kaplan (@EpKap) October 2, 2017

Unlike Trubisky, Rodgers was not a rookie when he made his NFL debut. A first-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2005, Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre before making his first career start on Monday night in Week 1 of 2008.

The future Hall of Famer's night was far from spectacular, but he completed 18 of his 22 passing attempts for 178 yards and scored one touchdown with zero interceptions against the Vikings.

Trubisky will make his first start against the Vikings. If he can put together a performance like the one Rodgers did in his NFL debut, fans should feel good about the direction he is heading as the future of the franchise.
