Bears announce undrafted free agent class of 11 players

The Bears announced the additions of 11 undrafted free agents to their roster, including Khalil Mack’s brother Ledarius Mack.

The Chicago Bears welcomed seven new members to their roster with their 2020 draft class. But they weren’t done bringing in some young talent that will be looking to earn a roster spot.

On Tuesday, the Bears announced the signings of 11 undrafted free agents, including Khalil Mack’s younger brother Ladarius Mack,

What was surprising is that Chicago didn’t sign an undrafted free agent quarterback, which indicates they’re sticking with Tyler Bray as the third-string QB behind Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles.

Chicago also added two running backs, which will get a crack at highlighting the Bears’ running back room.

Take a look at the undrafted free agents below:

  • Mississippi St DT Lee Autry
  • Yale OG Dieter Eiselen
  • Maryland LB Keandre Jones
  • WIU LB LaCale London
  • Buffalo LB LeDarius Mack
  • FIU RB Napoleon Maxwell
  • Duke DT Trevor McSwain
  • Oregon St RB Artavis Pierce
  • FAU LB Rashad Smith
  • LSU OT Badara Traore
  • Kentucky WR Ahmad Wagner

WATCH: Highlights of Bears UDFA pass rusher Ledarius Mack

Preseason just got a whole lot more interesting. Who could pass up the chance to get both Mack brothers on the field at the same time?

With the 2020 NFL Draft in the books, the Chicago Bears turned their attention to undrafted free agency, where they welcomed several rookies to their 90-man roster.

One of those undrafted rookies was Buffalo edge rusher Ladarius Mack. That’s right, the Bears got Khalil Mack’s younger brother.

While Ledarius isn’t at the level that his big bro is, he did have a knack for getting after the quarterback during his time at the University of Buffalo. In 2019, Mack had 24 tackles, including 11 tackles for loss, eight sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

“Khalil’s brother, that’s definitely something we’re looking forward to,” coach Matt Nagy told reporters. “It worked out for us.”

The Bears are currently set at pass rusher with Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn leading the charge, along with depth from newly-minted fifth-round draft pick Trevis Gipson and free-agent acquisition Barkevious Mingo.

Little Mack certainly faces an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster, but if he impresses during camp, he could certainly earn a place on the practice squad.

Suddenly, preseason just got a whole lot more interesting. Who could pass up the chance to get both Mack brothers on the field at the same time?

Take a look at what the Bears can expect from Ledarius Mack:
