Mitchell Trubisky thinks one of the reasons he's been better in 2018 is that he decided to get off social media.

The Chicago Bears quarterback said when he struggled as a rookie in 2017, he'd look on Twitter and see people criticizing him.

"I know what that did to me when I let those voices get inside," Trubisky said. "It was not good for my mental health. People are one keystroke away from accessing you. Why would I allow people who know nothing about me to have an opinion? Why would I allow them to have that space in my mind?"

When on social media, he felt other people were controlling his time.

"If you're conscious of something, then you're also in control," Trubisky said. "And that also takes me back to the social media thing — always being in control of your time and your thoughts. Don't let people on the outside take control. You're in control of your time, and how you're working, and your peace of mind, and how you sleep at night."
