Positive signalBreakout

UDFA earned 78 snaps in December with 2 TDs; projected to claim WR3 by mid-season.

UDFA who made 53-man roster and earned significant snaps in December with 6 catches, 2 TDs (including game-tying TD vs Green Bay), and 78 snaps over final three games, pushing Olamide Zaccheaus for WR4 snaps; competing for WR3 role in 2026 after Bears traded DJ Moore and let Zaccheaus walk.
