The Bears’ other rookie cornerback, Kindle Vildor comes from a small school but he’s played some of the best competition. Drafted in the fifth round, Vildor made a name for himself when he successfully shut down Clemson receiver Tee Higgins in 2018 when Georgia Southern took on the ACC giant. Vildor didn’t allow a completion to the 2020 second-round draft pick. While they lost the game, Vildor won his battle and that game put him on the map as a dangerous defensive back.

Vildor could be someone who contributes in Week 1, likely on special teams. While there is some competition ahead of him on the depth chart, don’t be surprised to see Vildor emerge as an option in the defensive backfield.
