With the draft over, the Bears are now racing to add to their rookie class with undrafted free agents. Here’s who they’ve signed so far:
Pos. Player, College
TE Scooter Harrington, Stanford
OL Gunnar Vogel, Northwestern
DL Thomas Schaffer, Stanford
DL Daniel Archibong, Temple
LB Caleb Johnson, Houston Baptist
Among last year’s undrafted free agents, running back Artavis Pierce and offensive lineman Dieter Eiselen each got snaps during the season and several others got an extended opportunity on the practice squad.
The top undrafted player in Bears history was center Jay Hilgenberg, who wasn’t picked in 1981 but went on to play 11 seasons for the Bears. He was a seven-time Pro Bowler who earned all-pro honors five times.
