And he started working toward it years before he arrived at Halas Hall and hit the field for rookie minicamp this week. As the team tries to figure out where everyone fits in a revamped offensive line, Trapilo is prepared for just about anything.

Angel Reese was ready to lead the Sky as a rookie last year.

As the Sky move closer to their season opener next week, it’s vital that they sharpen their rotation and their revamped style of play. They’ve got two more tune-ups to do that in preseason games, including Tuesday night against the Lynx. It’ll be the new-look Sky’s first time taking the court at Wintrust Arena this year, and it’s ideal to be facing the Lynx.
