The Bears announced on Friday that they have signed the following undrafted free agents:
LB Jaylan Alexander, Purdue
TE Chase Allen, Iowa State
LB C. J. Avery, Louisville
S Amari Carter, Miami
OT Jean Delance, Florida
DT Micah Dew-Treadway, Minnesota
CB Allie Green IV, Missouri
WR Cyrus Holder, Duquesne
CB Jaylon Jones, Mississippi
WR Landon Lenoir, Southern Illinois
WR Henry Litwin, Slippery Rock
LB Jack Sanborn, Wisconsin
WR Kevin Shaa, Liberty
WR Savon Scarver, Utah State
RB Master Teague, Ohio State
TE Jake Tonges, California
One of the intriguing additions on offense is Scarver. He was named an All-American and received the Jet Award in 2018 for his production as a returner. Over the course of his career, he averaged over 27 yards per runback on kickoffs, tying the all-time NCAA record for return touchdowns with seven. His offensive production was lacking compared to that of third-rounder Velus Jones, but he should be able to compete for a special teams role.
Teague, meanwhile, will be a familiar face for quarterback Justin Fields, as the two played together at Ohio State in 2019 and 2020. It was in the former season that Teague set a career-high in scrimmage yards, with 849. The following campaign, he led the Buckeyes in rushing touchdowns with eight. He will compete with sixth-rounder Trestan Ebner for a depth role at the position.
