Chicago Bears: 3 UDFAs who could make an immediate impact
The Chicago Bears did well to find impact players in undrafted free agency. Which players can come in and compete for playing time as rookies?
Primarily due to the Khalil Mack trade, the Chicago Bears were not exactly loaded with picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. They only made five selections in the entire draft, with their first pick coming at number 73. The Bears did a nice job of getting talented players with the picks that they had, most notably adding Iowa State running back David Montgomery and Georgia wide receiver Riley Ridley to the mix. That being said, a small draft class is never ideal.
Likely due to their lack of picks, the Bears went crazy in undrafted free agency, signing 22 players to help fill out their round. They found many interesting undrafted talents who have a chance to compete in training camp for a spot on the 53-man roster.
The Chicago Bears are an extremely talented team who clearly has Super Bowl aspirations in the short term. That being said, there are still holes on this roster and spots for the taking for these undrafted signees.
Obviously, a lot of these undrafted rookies will not make it through camp, but there is ample opportunity and need for depth on the Chicago Bears roster. Which players should we be watching? Let’s take a look at the three undrafted free agents who have the best chance of making the 53-man roster.
