Jakeem Grant is looking to make a return to the Bears in 2022.
During the middle of last season, the Bears made a trade to acquire punt return specialist Jakeem Grant. They gave up a 6th round pick to get his services. They thought they would get in return a reliable punt and kickoff returner. Chicago ended up getting much more than that. Grant made a huge impact on the field immediately. His amazing play earned him a spot in the 2022 Pro Bowl.
Grant led the NFL in average punt return yards, had an amazing punt return touchdown against the Green Bay Packers and he also added two other touchdowns on offense. He was truly a do-it-all guy for the Bears.
When asked by the Chicago Times if he wanted to come back to Chicago for next season, Grant was very clear that he was willing to. He said:" If the chips fall right, I'll be back in Chicago". He also added that he hoped his play on both special team and offense caught the new coaching staff's attention. Grant then finished up by saying that he believes he would be a great fit for new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy's offense.
Hopefully, Grant's wishes come true and he is able to put on the Bears uniform in 2022.
