Jesper Horsted: C

Whenever a preseason darling has an impact on the regular season, Bears fans find a way to celebrate. Horsted tore it up in the preseason as an undrafted rookie free agent, but was relegated to the practice squad until injuries forced the Bears to elevate him to the active roster.

When they did, however, he provided a needed spark at the position, catching eight passes on 10 targets for 87 yards and one touchdown in six games. The numbers aren’t eye-popping, but Horsted did show his athleticism, particularly in his lone touchdown grab against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. His only blunder was his failure to lateral the ball to wide receiver Allen Robinson in the final seconds against the Green Bay Packers.

Horsted will have a good shot to make the 53-man roster this fall and with a little more development, could become a dependable weapon for coach Matt Nagy’s offense.
