The Bears selected safety Kendall Williamson with the penultimate pick of the 2023 NFL draft.

The Chicago Bears selected Stanford safety Kendall Williamson with the 258th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.

Listed at 6-0 and 203 pounds, Williamson is a physical safety who can pop ball carriers. His career highlight came in Stanford’s win against Notre Dame where he forced a fumble late in the game to help seal the victory.

Williamson spent five seasons with the Cardinal, playing an extra year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He totaled 50 tackles in 2022 (2.5 for a loss) and had one interception to go with three pass breakups. He joins a safety group that features Eddie Jackson, Jaquan Brisker, and Elijah Hicks. He’s the only safety the Bears added in this year’s draft.
