After Seeing Him, Former Exec Declares Chicago Bears Rookie A Steal

The Chicago Bears got plenty of encouraging signs from their rookie class in the preseason opener against the Houston Texans. Undrafted linebacker Carl Jones Jr. led the team with eight tackles. Undrafted tight end Brenden Bates scored a touchdown. Surprisingly, none of their draft class played in the game, with one exception. Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze, Kiran Amegadjie, and Tory Taylor all sat out. Only defensive end Austin Booker was on the field, and he was the best rookie performer by a lot.
