Chicago Bears undrafted rookies to watch: Tackling-breaking RB, developmental QB and O-Line bully

The Chicago Bears' 2026 undrafted free agent class is led by a trio of intriguing offensive prospects, with running back Coleman Bennett standing out as the most electric talent—despite going undrafted. Bennett, from Kennesaw State, led the entire 2026 NFL Draft class in tackle-breaking efficiency, breaking a tackle every 2.85 touches with only one fumble in 629 career carries. His elusiveness, short-area quickness, and long wingspan make him a perfect fit for Ben Johnson’s 'trim the fat' running style, though his 4.68 40-yard dash and lack of long speed raise questions about NFL viability. The Bears are betting on his instincts and football IQ. Quarterback Miller Moss, Caleb Williams’s former USC backup, brings experience and poise but lacks arm strength and struggles under pressure—making him a likely practice squad developmental project. Meanwhile, offensive lineman Caden Barnett, a versatile 6'4", 315-pound Wyoming product with elite length and a 'bully' mentality, could challenge for a roster spot. Tight end Hayden Large, a former fullback with no production but strong blocking instincts and special teams versatility, impressed coach Ben Johnson with his commitment to join the Bears despite a third-round tight end pick. These players represent the Bears’ strategy: high-upside, low-cost depth with developmental potential. The Bears’ undrafted class is heavily skewed toward offense (8 of 14), reflecting their offensive focus.
