Berry Berry INTERESTING! Rumblings they are looking at him as a RB, but he's also played safety and obviously QB.

6'0 220 running back prospect. I hope he's faster than 4.69 for crying out loud

I like that signing... might be a steal... the Tom Waddle of the 2014 NFL Draft Class...

Only 4.76, but good shuttle and cone times. Though goes without saying, he has to learn the position.

This looks like an attempt by the Bears to resurrect the H-back position and get a refund on Evan Rodriguez.

Well apparently Trestman can use him in 10 different ways but he has to be a Y1 practice squad guy at best.

Never heard of this guy before, but he's obviously versatile and you don't end up a finalist for the Heisman by accident. He could obviously play at least on the college level, but whether that translates into him being a player at the NFL or not, at least it seems that we're going after the top end UDFA's available.

His game was completely based on running. I'd be surprised if he threw the ball more than 100 times. He can't throw worth a damn. He'll be trying out at RB.

That's not really true. He threw for more than 3000 yards his junior year and almost 3000 his senior year with long passes of 73 and 66 yards respectively. He can throw, but he definitely has more potential as a running back in the pros. In any case, he had a remarkable college career. He had almost 5000 total yards and 47 touchdowns between rushing and passing. The guy was a one-man wrecking crew on offense. I hope he can pull off the position switch.
