Stephen Denmark was an intriguing prospect coming out of last year’s draft. He’s a converted wide receiver who is still learning to play the cornerback position, but has raw athleticism that could translate to the pros at some point.

The problem is, we haven’t seen it yet. Denmark spent all last year on the practice squad after being selected in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He does have a fan in Bears secondary coach Deshea Townsend, who worked with Denmark prior to the draft and compared him to Fuller earlier this offseason.

Despite the praise, Denmark is facing an uphill battle to make the roster, especially now that teams will need to cut 10 additional players than normal heading into camp due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The former Valdosta State standout may not even have the opportunity to show what he can do.
