This undrafted rookie is very likely to make the final roster!!
After the excitement of the draft has dialled down, rosters continue to be filled out with veterans and rookies alike. There are many talented players that did not get selected in the draft, which leaves the UDFA pool filled with names that could make roster impacts.
In the 2021 NFL draft, a larger number of UDFAs were on NFL rosters compared to those drafted in any other specific round. Of course, the UDFA pool is much larger than the amount selected in each round, but the amount of UDFAs making an impact in the NFL is very eye-opening.
This season should not be too different, as although teams, both in the AFC and NFC, filled some of their key needs in the draft, there are many talented UDFAs that have also been added to rosters that should be able to stick around.
Here is who the website the33rdteam listed as the likeliest UDFA to make the roster for the Chicago Bears:
Chicago Bears
Player: Jack Sanborn, LB, Wisconsin
The new regime leading the Bears established a clear focal point for adding more pieces on the defensive side of the ball, likely due to key departures at the beginning of the offseason. In the UDFA pool, they focused on adding depth at the LB position in the form of Jack Sanborn, who looks like he could be an effective two-down backer at the very least.
